"A Côte-Rôtie with a delicate, lingering texture"

“A fresh, juicy burst of blackberry and acai is perfectly balanced by firm tannins and gritty, mineral notes of graphite. It offers impressive depth and vibrancy. The clean finish is adorned with smoky notes of alder. Precise and elegant. Best enjoyed between 2027 and 2038.” (Wine Spectator 2026)

Rated Estate (2026 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

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.

About the wine:

The 2023 Côte-Rôtie Le Gallet Blanc opens with soft notes of violet, along with aromas of grape stems, orange peel, and red plum. Medium-bodied, with real depth and structured by ripe tannins, the 2023 vintage will benefit from being cellared for another two years in a cool cellar.
