We are delighted to see this estate in such fine form this year. François Villard has been a master of his craft—in both white and red wines—for several years now, producing wines that are deeply rooted in their terroir. It must be said that he boasts an impressive range that spans all the region’s major appellations. A proponent of perfectly balanced ripeness and a master of the art of aging wines, he has crafted a series of 2023 vintages of the very highest caliber. The third star is well within reach.
