Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, low tannin, medium acidity, dry
A characterful white Rhône from François Villard, a respected Syrah specialist who also crafts polished whites across the northern Rhône. Built on Marsanne and Roussanne, this wine shows the appellation's signature weight and texture — expect beeswax and white peach alongside almond and floral notes, with a round, slightly waxy mouthfeel that softens with a year or two of cellaring. It's an honest, food-friendly white that reflects Crozes-Hermitage's earthier, less opulent character compared to the Hermitage hill itself.
