This wine has a per person limit. We do this as the wine is hard to find, very rare and/or incredibly sought after.

We do this to ensure that we are able to share the love with everyone!

We kindly ask that you do not abuse this limit by placing multiple orders. In the event that you place multiple orders - they will be canceled and subject to a 5% cancellation fee.

If you would like to request more than the allowable amount - we may be able to help - send us an email at info@thatcherswineconsulting.com

Dard & Ribo are vignerons in Saint-Joseph/Hermitage/Crozes-Hermitage who prefer white wines. In an area where many producers, even in less favorable sites, try for as much extraction as possible, Dard & Ribo wines present a more elegant, joyous, dare I say, drinkable alternative( not to say that their wines lack the structure and concentration to gracefully age) Maybe that is why Dard & Ribo have, at multiple occasions, ran afoul of the Inter-Rhone and their wines are defined as atypical. Yet, for those who like to drink wine pure in expression and intent, these wines are a must-have.

Rene-Jean Dard & Francois Ribo

Sometimes a wine is forced, in that “paint by the numbers” way, to appeal to a specific demo or stay within the lines of their AOC regulations. Other times, a vigneron paves their way by making wine that reflects their “joie de vivre.” The wines of René-Jean Dard and François Ribo, vinified ‘sans soufre’ from their 8.5-hectare estate in Tain l’Hermitage, belong firmly to the latter category.

And though the star of Dard & Ribo has been steadily rising in the U.S. along with the “natural wine” movement, I was blissfully ignorant of this producer until I started with Thatcher’s Wines. It is never too late to explore.
