I’m beyond excited to share our delicious drop Nr. 17 with you!
Domaine DARD & RIBO
Mercurol, NORTHERN RHONE
Dard & Ribo is one of the quietly influential estates of the northern Rhône, based near Mercurol and working across Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, and Hermitage. Founded in the late 1980s by René-Jean Dard and François Ribo, the domaine has long stood for wines rooted in place, integrity, and craft.
From the beginning, their approach has been guided by respect for the land. Farming is organic and biodynamic in spirit, with old vines, low yields, and a deep sensitivity to each site. In the cellar, intervention is kept to a minimum: spontaneous fermentations, gentle handling, and a focus on balance rather than polish.
Long before "natural wine" became a hype
The wines are known for their structure, depth, and energy. They carry weight without excess and express the northern Rhône’s character with clarity and restraint. Long before “natural wine” became a category, Dard & Ribo were already making wines of authenticity, longevity, and quiet confidence.
Today, the estate remains a reference for those who value substance over spectacle — wines that are rooted, built to last, and increasingly recognized for their true potential, even if not everyone has caught on yet.
ABOUT OUR WINE DROP 17
Don't Stop Believin' WITH Domaine Dard & Ribo
The wines we have in Box Nr. 17
Dard & Ribo Hermitage 2023
A confident, expressive Syrah that knows exactly where it comes from. Dark berries, black pepper and a touch of wild herbs lead the way, followed by a structured yet fluid palate. There’s power here, but it’s carried with ease — warm, layered and quietly commanding, with the kind of tension that keeps you coming back.
Dard & Ribo Crozes-Hermitage 2023
Open, generous and full of northern Rhône charm. Ripe dark fruit and gentle spice meet a fresh, balanced palate with soft grip and natural movement. This is a Crozes-Hermitage that feels effortless and grounded — easy to love, but never simple.
Dard & Ribo “Les Bâties” Rouge 2023
My fav bottle of this drop! A more playful and site-driven expression of Syrah. Bright red fruit, earthy tones and a hint of smokiness come together over a structured, warm core. Precise yet relaxed, with fine tannins and a strong sense of place, this wine shows depth without losing its lightness.
