“A juicy treat that makes it irresistible”
The Preface is an invitation to discover the wines of Pierre-Jean Villa. Made from destemmed grapes and featuring a long maceration, this Saint Joseph offers beautifully defined fruit flavors with subtle peppery and mineral notes. The palate is rich and full-bodied with spicy accents and a lovely finish, thanks to its supple and fresh texture. A wonderful introduction! • Please note: quantities are very limited!

Wine rated (2025 guide) 90/100 (2022 vintage)
Rated estate (2023 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
What a meteoric rise for this up-and-coming winemaker, who has been in business since only 2009. His constant care for his various vineyards and meticulous work in the cellar have enabled him to produce Saint-Joseph, Condrieu, and Côte-Rôtie wines that rank among the very best in their respective appellations. In 2020, the Côte-Rôtie Fongeant borders on perfection. The challenge for wine lovers will be to get their hands on a few bottles.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
Founded in 2008, this winery has been gaining recognition year after year. It has gradually expanded without losing sight of its philosophy: to produce wines with a distinct identity. For reds, the proportion of whole-cluster fermentation varies depending on the cuvée. High-quality aging processes enhance and refine the wines without making them overly smooth. The whites retain their finesse. The quality and consistency of the entire production are remarkable.
