Dard et Ribo

René-Jean Dard and François Ribo began their estate in 1983 after meeting as teenagers at wine school in Beaune, starting with roughly a hectare from Dard’s family. They gradually added rented and purchased parcels, building an 8.5-hectare estate across seven Northern Rhône villages. Most of the vines are in Crozes-Hermitage, with smaller holdings in Saint-Joseph and Hermitage.

They farm organically without certification and often make the wine from each plot separately. Syrah supplies the reds, with Marsanne and Roussanne for the whites.
