(Vintage 2015)Smells of cassis and dark licorice. Extremely fresh and lively. The palate has succulent, gently peppery and spicy elements. Fresh and vibrant. Very pure. Drinking well now.

About this winery
A trained chef, Francois Villard developed a passion for wine at the age of 20. Unsure how to enter the wine world, he completed a year of professional certification in sommellerie at Tain l’Hermitage. The connections he made there were pivotal, inspiring him to become a winemaker.
