Domaine Dard et Ribo - Crozes Hermitage - Pé de Loup 2020
Domaine Dard et Ribo is located in the town of Mercurol, north of the Rhône Valley. It was created in the 1980s by René-Jean Dard and François Ribo. Nowadays, they have vineyards on the appellations of Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph and Hermitage. They produce natural wines to highlight the purity of the fruit, the finesse and the lightness.
Pé de Loup is made from Syrah, whose vines are 70 years old and grown on the highest plot of the estate on a soil of decomposed granite. Whole bunch vinification is traditional. The maceration is natural and lasts 15 days, with light punching down for a better extraction of the fruit. It is aged in old barrels.
Grape variety: 100% Syrah
