The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A tenor of the Rhône and awarded 2 stars by RVF, Pierre-Jean Villa continues to dazzle us! Reaching new heights with each vintage, he touches us deeply, unveiling energetic and richly flavored wines that amaze enthusiasts.

His 17 hectares, spread across the major crus on both banks of the Rhône, enable him to craft a broad array of appellations, including the fantastic Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu. With keen sensitivity and attention to detail, he produces wines of great vitality, marked by intense aromas, always with extreme delicacy, and perfectly expressing their schist or granite terroirs.
Wine The 2022 white IGP Collines Rhodaniennes Primavera is a pure Viognier from a parcel of granitic sand close to Saint-Joseph, at an altitude of 350 meters. Fragrant, intense, and spicily elegant without heaviness, it showcases the deliciousness of its terroir with a fine, crisp, and balanced style, skillfully aged. Perfect from the aperitif through to cheese courses.
Vinification Hand-harvested, whole-bunch pressing, low-temperature settling for 12 to 24 hours, then temperature-controlled vinification in 15-hl tuns.
Aged for 12 months in 15 hl tuns. Racking and blending 6 weeks before bottling.
