The 2016 red wines from Villard represent as strong a vintage as I can recall. While his wines from a decade ago were marked by ripe, powerful fruit and sometimes assertive oak character, today’s wines are far more elegant. That said, the wines are still highly expressive, fruit-driven and extremely easy to enjoy on the young side, which is great news for the impatient and for restaurants as well. Villard told me that he thinks that his ‘16s should be drunk well before the more massive ‘15s “but that doesn’t mean that they won’t age very well,” adding that he would be surprised if they ever go through a closed phase.
