Francois Villard Condrieu DePoncins 2014
With impressive intensity, Deponcins has a touch of botrytis in 2014 dictating tropical fruit flavours and a juicy richness. What sets this apart is the clearly defined mineral streak running through it, creating a wine of absolute class.
Domaine François Villard is a well-regarded French wine producer located in the northern Rhône. The estate's first vines were planted in Condrieu in 1989, and today the domaine produces almost 30 different red and white wines from Rhône appellations including Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Peray and Cornas. However, it is best known for its Viognier wines from Condrieu and its Syrahs from Côte-Rôtie.
The estate boasts several parcels of vines in Condrieu, and a few hectares in Saint-Joseph and Côte Rôtie. Syrah and Viognier dominate the domaine's vineyard holdings, but François Villard also sources fruit to produce wines from Merlot, Marsanne and Roussanne.
