François Villard Wines: A Northern Rhône Rising Star
A Bold Estate Rooted in Terroir and Tradition
François Villard, a former chef turned winemaker, has become one of the most exciting names in the Northern Rhône. Since founding his estate in 1989 in Saint-Michel-sur-Rhône, he has mastered the cultivation of Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne on steep, hand-built terraces in prestigious appellations like Condrieu, Côte-Rôtie, Saint-Joseph, Cornas and Saint-Péray.
His winemaking philosophy blends minimal intervention with a deep respect for nature. Manual harvesting, indigenous yeast fermentation and oak barrel aging all contribute to expressive, structured and terroir-driven wines. 12bouteilles proudly offers a curated selection of his exceptional cuvées to discerning wine lovers.
Signature Cuvées for Every Wine Occasion
From the aromatic complexity of Condrieu "De Poncins" and the mineral elegance of Saint-Péray "Version", to the powerful Côte-Rôtie "La Brocarde" and age-worthy Cornas "Jouvet", Villard's wines deliver depth and distinction. Each vintage captures the nuances of the Rhône's diverse terroirs.
Pair these wines with gourmet cuisine—grilled lobster, duck with figs, or game stew—and enjoy them young or cellar-aged. Whether you're celebrating, relaxing, or investing in fine wine, François Villard’s creations available at 12bouteilles offer a truly memorable experience.
