Hugo & Pauline Villa	France	Rhône - Septrionales

About the winemaker Pierre-Jean Villa's children are following in his footsteps and will start with their own range of wines from the 2022 harvest. Hugo has been at his father's side for a number of years, while Pauline first gained experience at other companies after her studies in Dijon. The grapes come from selected plots in the best parts of appellations such as Condrieu, Crozes-Hermitage and Saint-Joseph. Like their father, they work organically and are in favor of agroforestry.
