The Saint-Joseph reflet du domaine François Villard possesses lovely substance and concentration. This Rhone Valley wine is elegant, developing notes of white pepper, raspberry, cedar and spices. To be enjoyed over 10 years! Guide des meilleurs vins de France 2021 : 94/100
The Domaine François Villard is among the elite of Rhône Valley wines. A former chef, François Villard, who has decided to lead his vineyard in certified organic agriculture since 2019, produces northern Rhône valley wines rather on finesse. Here, the emphasis is not on opulence, but on good ripeness without heaviness, creating wines with length and uprightness, while respecting the fruit. Guide RVF des meilleurs vins de France 2020: 2 stars (very great estate). "Just because the troublemaker François Villard doesn't take himself seriously doesn't mean we shouldn't treat his work with the attention it deserves. This self-taught winegrower likes concentrated, late harvests, so as to achieve perfect ripeness rather than over-ripeness. In reds, La Brocarde in côte-rotie and Reflet in saint joseph are often among the greatest successes of the sector. The whites are generous"
