Wow. Complex, ripe but deliciously structured, runs a line with aromas that remind me of a top Burgundy but then again... no. Not a super powered Syrah but a refined, elegant, complex, and cerebral kind of Saint Joseph. Challenges all the great regions of the Northern Rhône. 2010 — 8 years ago

François Villard consistently amazes me at taking white varietals that I tend not to get too excited about, and making wines out of them that make me want to sit down, stare off into space and think about stuff. 70% Marsanne, 30% Roussanne, non-sparkling St Peray. Evolves aromatically mid-whiff.......impressive. — 11 years ago

I tried this last summer and wasn't as stoked on it. Now, I'm beside myself. This is rich, oxidative, and delicious. This is other-worldly. Very few wines like this exist in the world. — 11 years ago

Final red from this northern Rhone winery hit most of the check marks for me. Well balanced. Fruity, but not overly jammy nose, medium bodied and much more approachable than the previous 100% Syrah. — 10 years ago

Years back a plush monkey wearing a sombrero cradled a small acrylic painting of my own sat in a well maintained yet delicately musty loafer with a soviet hammer and sickle I'd also painted on the side was placed on my friends doorstep in the middle of the night. Shortly after my friend opened the door to quite a surprise, he was deep in the land of mushrooms, so deep he required conformation of the loafer monkeys existence. The complexity of that situation is not unlike this leathery, light, and colorful display. — 11 years ago

Smokey meats, crushed black pepper, spice box, black cherry fruit. Chewy, juicy yet fresh on the palate. Bright fruit and acidity shin. Blend of northern and southern Rhone Syrah. Value buy! Drink now. — 9 years ago

Very pale golden color with peach, apricot, spiced honey aromas. On the palate, it's creamy and ample and dryish with peach, apricot, honey and mineral flavors. Med finish. Fabulous with saffron rice tilapia! — 12 years ago
