2010 VDP Collines Rhodanienes, Contours de Deponcins, Domaine F. Villard

VDP Collines Rhodanienes, Contours de Deponcins, Domaine F. Villard
Lively former chef François Villard built his reputation with white wines, Condrieu in particular. This superb vineyard falls just outside the rather modestly proportioned appellation but with similar steep granitic soils. Matured in 35% new oak, the 2010 is as splendidly exuberant as the man himself, imparting an unstoppable joie de vivre and defying the drinker not to indulge in a second and third glass. Excellent with lobster or any dish of a crustacean persuasion……coincidentally one of François’ areas of culinary expertise!
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012

Tasting chez Villard is something of a test of stamina, albeit a most enjoyable test. M Villard is not short of an opinion and he is most certainly not short of wine in an impressive portfolio. The main problem for us is that of omission…….the temptation to buy everything is pronounced, such is the variety and quality of the wines, but we have to exercise rigorous self-discipline, especially difficult with 2010, a vintage which François extolls for its freshness and structural harmony.
