"A Viognier of exceptional richness"

"Perfectly balanced and irresistible, it offers a blend of creamy orange and tangy apricot peel, enhanced by a succulent acidity. Notes of bitter green almond, toasted herbs, and flinty smoke provide a delicious contrast to the complex and lively finish." (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.
