“This wine, with its beautiful deep purple color, promises to be a serious wine. The nose confirms this impression of richness: blackcurrant, licorice, and notes of vanilla and mocha come together to form a complex bouquet. On the palate, it is full-bodied and very dense, marked by concentrated fruit (blueberry, blackberry) that nonetheless brings a lovely freshness, with tannins that are still a bit grippy. This is a youthful flaw resulting from recent barrel aging that should quickly fade away. A Saint-Joseph with a strong character.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
François Dauvergne and Jean-François Ranvier are part of a new generation of young wine merchants in the Rhône Valley. Deeply involved in the production of their wines, they work with their winemaker friends throughout the year and preserve the unique character of each terroir. Their wines are structured without being excessive, with perfectly defined aromas. The duo continues to evolve, and their range extends from Hermitage in the north to the Luberon in the south, including Côte-Rôtie, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and Costières-de-Nîmes—and now even includes partnerships as far away as Roussillon! Recently, their venture has expanded to the Bordeaux region.

About the estate:
Founded in 2004 by François Dauvergne and Jean-François Ranvier—wine professionals who decided to produce their own wines after working for other producers—this wine merchant has been establishing itself year after year through high-quality wines made from single-vineyard selections. In 2013, the two partners took over the Dom. des Muretins estate (Tavel and Lirac) and, in 2014, developed a range of Bordeaux wines in collaboration with Patrice Hateau.
