This morning Marie Zajaque et moi Jonathan Palevsky talk about two wines from the Rhone Valley in France. These wines are produced by the Negociantes Dauvergne & Ranvier Francois Dauvergne and Jean-Francois Ranvier are more than just your typical Negociantes they participate actively in their relationship with growers to the benefit of all.
We reviewed Dauvergne & Ranvier’s 2010 Luberon. $12. Also reviewed was Dauvergne & Ranvier’s 2001 Cotes Du Rhone, $14.
Cheers,
Mary Zajac and Jonathan Palevsky
Word On Wine Dauvergne & Ranvier
Jonathan…Loved your spirited francophile take on Ms Zajac’s name. How about restoring the word “négotiants” to its original French form in the masculine plural to refer to these two guys, François Dauvergne and Jean-François Ranvier. Keep up the great work… Word on Wine is a treasure.
