"This fine house produces a whole range of top-class vintages. Very clear and brilliant, this white is distinguished by an intense nose of white flowers with hints of honey. The palate, equally aromatic, is supple and very well balanced, sustained by a beautiful vivacity. A young, flattering 2017 that will easily find its place." A plot-by-plot selection, with a Viognier majority, in search of a marriage of minerality and generosity. A most delicious selection!

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.
