Gault & Millau

Made from high-altitude vineyards, Terres Extrêmes is a fresh wine with a distinctly Provençal character. The nose, with notes of tapenade and garrigue, evokes the traditional olive-grove terroirs. On the palate, it offers a lovely concentration of fruit, enhanced by crisp acidity and well-integrated tannins. It is a warm, yet light wine. A true success!

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 closely with their winemaker friends throughout the year to 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 portfolio stretches from Hermitage in the north to the Luberon in the south, including Côte-Rôtie, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and Costières-de-Nîmes—and now even extends to partnerships as far as Roussillon! Recently, their venture has expanded to the Bordeaux region.

Wine rated (2014 guide) Mentioned (Successful wine)

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

Currently closed, this 2011 releases subtle hints of hazelnut after swirling. Ripe red fruits—strawberries in particular—emerge on the palate, which is also somewhat reserved, supported by high-quality tannins that are still a bit harsh. It’s best to wait a couple of years before opening this bottle.

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 others—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.

Wine rated (2016 guide) 15/20 (Very good)
