Pierre-Jean Villa - Esprit d'Antan Syrah 2020
93/100
Bettane & Desseauve
"A subtle Syrah, full of finesse!"
"Tasted before bottling. Lovely, deep, fruity nose, very aromatic (crushed raspberry), an aromatic marker of schist soils. On the palate, a loose, elegant juice, not yet fully in place on the day of our tasting, but it will assert its staying power once in bottle." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve)

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the wine:
Tasted before bottling. Lovely, deep, fruity nose, very aromatic (crushed raspberry), an aromatic marker of schist soils. On the palate, a loose, elegant juice, not yet fully in place on the day of our tasting, but which will assert its strength once bottled.
About the domain :
What a meteoric rise for this new winegrower, who has only been in business since 2009. The constant care he devotes to his different plots and the precise work in the cellar enable him to produce wines in Saint Joseph, Condrieu and Côte-Rôtie that are on the podium of their respective appellations. In 2020, the côte-rôtie fongeant will approach perfection. The challenge for enthusiasts will be to get their hands on a few bottles.

Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
Created in 2008, this estate has gone from strength to strength. It has gradually expanded without losing its philosophy: to produce wines with identity. In the reds, the proportion of whole grapes varies according to the cuvée. High-quality ageing enhances and refines the wines, without over-pommading them. White wines retain their finesse. The quality and homogeneity of the entire production are remarkable.
