Syrah
A self-taught vigneron's mastery of the Northern Rhône
- The vineyard sits on predominantly granitic soils that impart mineral character and structural balance, ideal for ageing. South and south-easterly exposure protects the vines from westerly and northerly winds, ensuring optimal ripeness and complexity.
- A generously proportioned wine displaying savoury, smoky notes with considerable depth. Approachable in youth, yet possessing the structure and concentration to develop beautifully over time as an excellent gastronomic companion.
- François Villard established his domaine in the early 1980s and swiftly earned recognition among the finest producers of the Northern Rhône Valley. His self-taught expertise in understanding terroir, microclimate and aspect across his parcels is evident in every bottle.

In the mouth
Fruit-forward palate displaying excellent length and definition. The wine balances ripe berry character with savoury depth and a structured finish that rewards patient cellaring
On the nose
Aromatic complexity of red berries—raspberry and morello cherry—with underlying mineral and smoky nuances characteristic of granite-based Côte-Rôtie
On the eye
Deep ruby red with attractive intensity
Breeding
Eighteen months' ageing in oak barrels, comprising 40% new oak and 60% older oak of more than three years.
This wine finds its natural expression alongside lamb dishes, where the wine's mineral structure and smoky character complement the meat's richness with particular elegance. A assured pairing for those seeking a Northern Rhône red of genuine substance and breeding.
