About the winemaker
A great wine comes from respect for land, climate, terroir and grape, is Pierre-Jean Villa's belief. The only logic is to protect the diversity of the terroir in the vineyard and to make wines that properly reflect the terroir. In the cellar, Pierre-Jean Villa believes in a vinification that involves as little intervention as possible: use of natural yeasts, spontaneous fermentation, and crossing and bottling take into account the position of the moon. In the end, the wine must express the honest and delicate balance between the typicity of the terroir and the ethics of the winemaker.
