"This Pitchoun, the house's latest costier, has a lovely bouquet of red fruits and spices. An engaging entry, complemented by hints of licorice, is followed by an elegant, full-bodied, unctuous and suave palate, underpinned by firm, well-aged tannins. Full-bodied and fruity".

Food and wine pairing

ideal with pork roast in the oven, but its spiciness makes it ideal for spicy dishes such as pizza, pork cheek with green pepper or beef tenderloin with ginger. It also goes well with wild mushroom risotto...

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

François Dauvergne and Jean-François Ranvier are part of a new generation of young Rhône Valley négociants. Deeply involved in the production of their wines, they work with their winemaker friends throughout the year, preserving the expressions of their terroirs. The style is structured without excess, with perfect aromatic definition. The duo continues to evolve, and the range extends from Hermitage in the north to Luberon in the south, via Côte-Rôtie, Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Costières-de-Nîmes, with now even partnerships as far afield as Roussillon! And recently, the adventure has been extended to the Bordeaux region.

About the domain :

Founded in 2004 by François Dauvergne and Jean-François Ranvier, wine professionals who decided to create their own cuvées after working for others, this trading house has asserted itself year after year through quality wines made from parcel selections. In 2013, the two partners took over Dom. des Muretins (tavel and lirac) and in 2014 developed a range of Bordeaux wines in collaboration with Patrice Hateau.
