Given his long stint in Burgundy, it’s no surprise that Pierre-Jean Villa’s winemaking style runs to the elegant, even in hot vintages. His 2017s are a fine case in point, as they definitely do not behave as one might expect from a dry, incessantly hot year, showing fine detail and energy and the balance to age. The wines here, sourced from Villa’s 14 hectares of vines, are made to reflect the personality of the vintage, with up to 100% whole clusters for the Côte-Rôtie Fongeant, and raised in mostly neutral barrels, with about 10% being renewed each year.
