The 2024 Vintage
The 2024 vintage at the estate of François Villard, in the northern Rhône Valley, emerged from a challenging climatic year, marked by a particularly wet and complex spring. Despite these viticultural difficulties, the winemaker’s rigor and expertise made it possible to overcome the obstacles, resulting in precisely crafted wines that possess a fine balance between freshness and alcohol, along with great distinction. The whites—notably the Condrieus and Saint-Pérays—shine with their vibrant, aromatic, and taut profiles, while the reds (Côte-Rôtie, Saint-Joseph) favor elegance, refined tannins, and a highly appealing, immediate drinkability.
Grape varieties and composition
François Villard's Cuvée Version is made from 70% Marsanne and 30% Roussanne, two grape varieties emblematic of the Saint-Péray terroir.This combination creates an elegant, rich wine, ideal for lovers of great whites.

The wine is stirred once a week for six months to bring complexity and texture. The wine is aged on fine lees for 14 months, without racking, in barrels and foudres, for a wine of great finesse.
