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
Score of a lifetime - So many different voices, events, components and all perfectly balanced together, wonderful, enchanting bouquet of a garden of red fruits, cherries, currants, dried cranberries, rose hip, in a delicate mist of warm, exotic spices, cardamom, fresh, black pepper, anise. On the palate, character, expression, finesse and juiciness are perfectly combined. That's the way life can play.
Vinification
Selective reading by hand. 55% whole grape fermentation and 45% with destemmed berries, each plot individually, always with the vineyard's own yeasts in open barrels and steel tanks, aging for 11 months in 40% new and 60% used oak barrels, then aging in steel tanks for a further 5 months.
