89-92 Pts Stephen Tanzer - Vinous Media |
"Deep ruby. Suave raspberry and cherry aromas are complicated by baking spices and fresh violet. Round and sweet, offering deep red and dark berry liqueur flavors, supple tannins and a long, juicy finish. This is pretty seductive." (Reviewed 02/08) |
91 Pts Wine Spectator |
"Rich and smoky, with hints of mesquite and braised fig running through the core of dark cherry and plum fruit. The fleshy finish has a nice sanguine edge. Drink now through 2013. 1,181 cases made." (Reviewed 12/08) |
Description:
"There is a 15 day maceration, with pumping over. 50% is done in new barrels for 12 months, the balance in tank. This bottling comes from young vines, but possesses a character found most often in vines over 50 years old." -Importer
WINERY:
"Known as a Condrieu 'master', Francois has grown his tiny domaine from 4 to 7 hectares and still produces a miniscule amount of highly allocated bottlings. Referred to by Robert Parker as one of the 'stars' of the Northern Rhone, Francois has recently acquired a small parcel in Cote-Rotie and a few ares in St. Joseph. Formerly a chef, Francois brings his complex palette to the winery to produce wines of power and grace that age for years. Francois Villard's strategy is to allow for the most optimal ripening possible. His wines, as a result, are rich and concentrated with complex aromas of peaches, apricots, honeysuckle, and honey for the whites and leather and spice for the reds. The whites are often allowed to develop botrytis and most of the wines pass through wood ageing for an extended amount of time to prepare them for a very long life in bottle." -Importer
