About the wine
L'Enfant Terrible de la Rhône! Or at least that was François Villard when he planted his first vines as a career changer at the end of the 80s and really stirred up the wine scene in the northern Rhône. Quickly hailed as a shooting star back then, he is still one of the most recognized and established winemakers in the region today. His wines inspire and fascinate. They are always full of intensity and power, but are never too lush or bulky. Total enthusiasm guaranteed!

Tasting note
Baba au Rhum - lush, flowery, spicy and ripe fruit, compote of yellow peach, flambéed pineapple, candied orange, organ blossom, buttercream pancake, bourbon vanilla, nutmeg, a touch of green pepper and smoky green tea, incredibly complex and versatile, extremely oily, soft texture, lots of spice, aroma and pressure on the palate, but also surprising, with salty, citric freshness that only to appease you again with this warm, ripe fruit, back and forth, up and down, day and night, ebb and flow, at the eternal pace of our world, in Consistent, everything will be fine, with a temptation of that kind anyway. Intense, long, with lots of potential. Extraordinary
Vinification
Selective reading by hand. Pressed directly and fermented each plot individually in barrels with the vineyard's own yeasts, aged for 11 months in 25% new oak barrels and 75% in used ones by stirring up the yeast (bâtonnage), then aging in steel tanks for a further 7 months.
