Rich, layered, confident without being loud. Speaks like a chamber ensemble — three voices in harmony. Doesn't monologue. Converses. Has the weight of Côte-Rôtie without the arrogance of it.
Serve & pair
Intimate conversations and lingering over a meal of duck. lamb or rabbit. Matured soft cheeses like Mont d'Or or Saint-Marcellin..

Producer
Three generations on the granite heights of Chavanay: Jean Faury settled Ribaudy in 1950, Philippe built the winery and began the label in 1979, and Lionel — the third generation — has made it definitively his own since 2006: Finer, fresher, more granite-driven wines that whisper instead of shout - and mean every word.
