"Intense and greedy from the first nose, this cuvée combines red fruits, spices and coriander. Following the same aromatic line, the palate offers a fine balance of tannin-alcohol-freshness that allows this wine to already be appreciable, while being able to look to the future with serenity." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016) A great bottle, produced at low yields on the high slopes of the appellation. Serve in season with a fine game dish, or cellar for 5-6 years.

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.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

Scored (2015 guide) 88-90/100 (Wonderful wine)

Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

Densely colored, the Gigondas Vin Rare 2013 is a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, partially aged in foudre, from high plots in the eastern part of the appellation. Exuding notes of ripe raspberries, violets, licorice and spices, this rather full-bodied wine is nicely concentrated and its fine tannins reveal themselves on the finish. It can be enjoyed within the year or cellared for up to ten years.
