Préface is a call to discover the wines of Pierre-Jean Villa. Grapes de-stemmed and long-macerated, this Saint Joseph presents a beautiful precision of fruit with a subtle peppery, mineral note. On the palate, it's greedy with spicy accents, and lingers well thanks to its supple, fresh texture. A fine introduction!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated 93/100 (Vintage 2020)

Domaine rated (2023 guide) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

What a meteoric rise for this new winegrower, who has only been in business since 2009. The constant care he devotes to his various plots and the precise work in the cellar enable him to produce Saint Joseph, Condrieu and Côte-Rôtie wines that are on the podium of their respective appellations. In 2020, the côte-rôtie fongeant will approach perfection. The challenge for enthusiasts will be to get their hands on a few bottles.

Rated wine (guide 2023) 92/100 (Vintage 2020)

Domaine rated (2024 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the domain :

Created in 2008, this estate has gone from strength to strength. It has gradually expanded without losing its philosophy: to produce wines with identity. In the reds, the proportion of whole grapes varies according to the cuvée. High-quality ageing enhances and refines the wines, without over-pommading them. White wines retain their finesse. The quality and homogeneity of the entire production are remarkable.
