Condrieu 2023
Hugo & Pauline VillaWhen tasting, this Condrieu wonderfully combines tension, aromatic freshness and tannic structure. It is also a wine to keep (ten years), which has its place on more gastronomic tables.

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.
