Matured 18 months. 20% in new oak barrels and 80% in old oak barrels (2 to 4 years old). The signature of the winemaker, on a Saint Joseph that is too well made. Very flattering nose with a mix of black (blackberry) and red fruits. A beautiful length, a subtle balance. Pairs well with sautéed rabbit, deer, and cheeses. This wine can be kept for 15 years if stored in ideal conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER: \u003c\/strong\u003eFrancois Villard was not born into wine; he started out his career as a chef. He grew up between Vienne and Grenoble, in the French countryside. He made his first Condrieu in 1991, a whopping 400 bottles. Today, makes wine from 64 hectares, of which he owns 40 hectares, purchasing fruit from the balance. He makes wine from Côte-Rôtie down to Saint Peray, and a little of everything between: four Condrieu, five Saint-Joseph (red and white), three Crozes-Hermitage, a Cornas, and four Vin de France (Marsanne-Roussanne, Viognier, and two Syrah).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"François Villard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47613688611072,"sku":null,"price":76.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/3684\/6592\/files\/59F801BB-376A-42CB-A14E-73A9C0F00C85_1_105_c.jpg?v=1769533079","url":"https:\/\/patronsaintwine.com\/products\/francois-villard-reflet-rouge-rhone-valley-france-2019","provider":"Patron Saint","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
