Location
Northern Rhône - Condrieu
Along with Pierre Gaillard and Yves Cuilleron, François Villard is one of the key winemakers of his generation in the upper reaches of the Northern Rhône. He bought his first parcel of Condrieu in 1988, set up Les Vins de Vienne with the aforementioned vignerons in 2002, and he now owns 40 hectares in total (though he buys grapes as well). Best known for his four Condrieu cuvées – all of which are excellent.
