Producer Information

Ren-Jean Dard and Franois Ribo started their estate in 1984 in a back street of Tain-lHermitage. There was about 1HA from Dards family, all the rest was rented or slowly acquired over the years. Born in the towns that face each other across the Rhne River, Tournon in the Ardche and Tain-lHermitage in the Drme, Dard and Ribo met in wine school in Beaune in their late teens. They work 7.5HA of vines scattered over 7 villages, with most of their holdings in Crozes-Hermitage, some in St-Joseph and a slice of Hermitage.Among the regular cuves is a Crozes-Hermitage red from plots located mainly in Larnage, on red clay with gravel and alluvial stones. The white Crozes is a blend of Roussanne and Marsanne planted on a mix of glacial alluvial deposits, rolled stones and red clay. The Saint-Joseph red comes from different plots of sandy granite, red clay and gore (decomposed granite.) The St-Jo white is only Roussanne, an exception in an AOC where Marsanne dominates.The spciales include the Crozes Les Bties from 2HA in red clay; the Crozes P de Loup from a soil of white gravel with kaolin (white clay); the white Crozes Les Karrires, from very old Marsanne growing on kaolin; K, from the same plot, when the vintage allows.
