Poivre et Sol du Domaine François Villard is a superb Saint-Joseph, powerful and racy; it develops on notes of forest fruits, pepper and raisins. Drink by decanting or cellar for 5-8 years.Domaine François Villard is one of the elite of Rhône Valley wines. A former chef, François Villard, who has decided to manage his vineyard with certified organic farming since 2019, produces wines from the northern Rhône Valley that are more focused 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"
