Domaine Liravel

François Dauvergne and Jean-François Ranvier set up their merchant house in 2004, in the Rhône. In 2013 they went from buying wine to making it: they took over Domaine Liravel, a ten-hectare family property spread across ten plots in Tavel and three in Lirac.

Since 2020 they have worked at l'Assemblière, the winery they built in Tavel. The domaine has been certified organic since 2021.

Tavel is in the Gard, across from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and it is the only appellation in the Rhône given over entirely to rosé.

The terroir brings together the galets roulés — the rolled stones that hold the heat — with marl and clay. The wine is a blend of six varieties: 34% grenache noir, 18% mourvèdre, 18% syrah, 12% grenache blanc, 12% cinsault and 6% picpoul, all picked by hand.
