A young chef turned winemaker in the early 90’s, Francois Villard is one of
the fastest rising stars of Rhone Valley and his wines have received much
acclaim. He first established his name with some white Condrieu wines
possessing rare depth and density, culminating with its star cuvees named
Deponcins and Terrasses du Palat. His production of red Saint Joseph and
Cote Rotie is now reaching the spectacular quality of the whites but are
unfortunately produced only in tiny quantities.

“Francois Villard confirms is great progression in red wines. The Cote Rotie
Gallet Blanc or Saint Joseph Reflets are in the past 5 years consistantly
among the greatest successes of Northern Rohne. As for the striking
Condrieu, it retains its position at the top of the appellation”. Classement
des vins de France 2005, Bettane & Desseauve.

“Villard is one of the young, serious producers who has an intellectual as
well as artistic approach to making Condrieu. His wines are given extensive
lees contact, with certain cuvees aged in 100% new oak, and bottled with
minimal processing. They are expressionistic, firmly structured Condrieus
that stand apart in a tasting for both their power and concentration.”
Robert Parker’ wine advocate
