Domaine François Villard "Poivre et Sol" - Rhone Saint Joseph wine - Rhône Red wine - Vintage 2020 François Villard, a cook by profession, started in 1989 and quickly became one of the stars of the northern Côtes-du-Rhône region, undoubtedly one of the most talented winegrowers of his generation. Grapes: 100% Syrah Tasting comments: The Saint-Joseph Poivre & Sol François Villard is a wine from this age-old appellation that delighted the "Bouchons" restaurants in Lyon in the last century. From now on, Saint-Joseph is an appellation that is moving upmarket thanks to a high-quality terroir and consistent quality production. The wines have the qualities of Côte Rôtie with a little more gourmet fruit. François Villard has the art and the way of producing wines of great elegance, "elongated" and balanced while keeping the ripe and crisp fruit expected of a Rhône wine. This wine is already ready to be tasted but it will improve for another 2 or 3 years.
