Named for Robyn Pamela Farr, the matriarch behind the Farr dynasty, RP is a wine with both substance and soul. Robyn’s contribution extends far beyond unwavering support of Gary’s four-decade career. She planted the vines, drove the tractors, filled barrels and pigeaged at midnight. Whatever the job, whatever the hour, Mum has always been the one they call.
Sourced from the exposed, densely planted slopes of the Côte Vineyard, RP is Pinot Noir of concentration, polish and quiet authority. Darker and silkier in profile, it unfurls with ripe cherry, sour cherry and warm spice, layered with cocoa and a haunting perfume. Fine, talc-like tannins give way to a satin-smooth palate, seamless yet powerful, with freshness and detail that build with time in the glass.
A wine of depth, elegance and extraordinary persistence, RP reveals another facet with every passing hour. A fitting tribute to the woman at the heart of it all.

It is one of the star climats of the AOC and has been earmarked for promotion to 1er Cru (when Marsannay finally gets some!). Longeroies faces south, […]

Direct from the cool dark cellars of Rippon, and at 10 years old this is drinking beautifully. It’s interesting to taste the estate’s DNA, with no perceptible style changes over the years. As always, an expression of vintage, and 2012 is considered great according to Nick Mill, owner/winemaker at Rippon. Red fruits, cherry, plum, strawberry, […]
