Domaine Dard et Ribo Crozes Hermitage Les Baties 2023

Domaine Dard et Ribo Crozes-Hermitage Les Bâties 2023 is a beautifully expressive Syrah from one of the Rhône Valley’s most respected artisanal producers. Known for purity, finesse, and minimal intervention, it offers a vivid snapshot of Crozes-Hermitage terroir in a fresh, contemporary style with deep regional roots.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this 2023 Crozes-Hermitage typically shows a deep ruby-purple colour with bright clarity. The nose is fragrant and lifted, with notes of blackberries, dark cherries, violets, cracked pepper, and subtle smoky, earthy nuances that add complexity. On the palate, it is supple yet structured, with juicy dark fruit, savoury spice, and the distinctive peppery, mineral edge Syrah is known for in the northern Rhône. The finish is precise and persistent, suggesting very good short- to medium-term ageing potential, with the ability to gain further softness and depth over the next several years.

Production
Les Bâties comes from the Crozes-Hermitage appellation in the northern Rhône, where Syrah thrives on a mix of granite, alluvial, and clay-rich soils that lend the wine freshness, spice, and energy. Domaine Dard et Ribo is known for working with respect for the vineyard and harvesting carefully to preserve fruit purity. Vinification is handled with a light touch, focusing on minimal intervention to let the character of the vintage and terroir come through.

Food & Serving
This wine is an excellent match for roasted lamb, grilled sausages, duck, game birds, mushroom dishes, and hard cheeses. Serve it slightly cool, around 16–18°C, to highlight its freshness and aromatic detail. A brief decant of 30–60 minutes can help open the wine, especially in its youth.

Producer
Domaine Dard et Ribo is a benchmark estate in the northern Rhône, founded by René-Jean Dard and François Ribo, who helped define a more natural, terroir-driven style in the region. Their wines are highly regarded for their authenticity, precision, and elegance, and the domaine has earned a strong reputation among enthusiasts and professionals for producing some of the most characterful Syrahs in Crozes-Hermitage and beyond.
