Domaine des Muretins

The Domaine des Muretins —covering around ten hectares—comprises several plots located in the municipalities of Tavel (6.50 ha) and Lirac (3.80 ha). It is a former family estate, composed of a mosaic of extremely high-quality terroirs. François Dauvergne and Jean-François Ranvier, founders of the Dauvergne-Ranvier company in 2004, took over the Domaine des Muretins in 2013.

The climate is Mediterranean, with low rainfall, plenty of sunshine, and the mistral as the prevailing wind. The plots located in Tavel reflect all the soils present in the appellation, offering varied and very interesting terroirs. The two plots located in Lirac have beautiful, relatively clayey terroirs: stony terraces on a sandy-clay matrix, ancient alluvial deposits of red earth and pebbles, and small stones spread over thin marl.

The Domaine des Muretins vineyard is managed using sustainable methods: tilling between rows, weeding within rows, sustainable disease control, under the weekly supervision of Jean-François Ranvier. The plots are harvested on different dates, depending on the ripeness of the fruit. All the grapes are harvested by hand and transported in crates. An initial manual sorting is carried out at harvest time, followed by a second sorting during unloading, ensuring that only perfectly healthy grapes are kept.
