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.

One of the great under-sung producers in the northern Rhône, Pierre-Jean Villa has been steadily increasing the quality of his wines since departing Les Vins de Vienne, where he was a partner and chief winemaker from 2003 until 2009. His wines show complex bouquets and a lot of forward fruit and rounded texture straight out of the blocks, especially in 2017. Villa’s 2016s might be the best set of wines that I have ever tasted from him, and their balance will help them enjoy long, graceful aging curves.

Villa, who is a Rhone Valley native, also has roots in Burgundy, having worked at Clos de Tart beginning in 1992, then in Beaujolais and for three years at Domaine de la Vougeraie with Pascal Marchand.In 2003 he came home to become a partner and take the winemaking reins at Vins de Vienne, where he remained until 2009.Since setting up his own small domaine, which includes a new cellar in the hills just outside Chavannay, he has also become a partner in a new Burgundy negociant with Olivier Decelle, the owner of Mas Amiel, in Maury.Only five wines are made right now but the new cellar will allow him to expand production, "with an obvious limit."The wines tend to be fruity but restrained, with an emphasis on "making each wine have a reason to stand by itself and not be blended into an appellation wine," he said.Villa told me that he likes to find a "minerality that borders on salinity" in wines, and that his goal is to "try to find the more elegant aspects of a vintage and work from there.Fruit is usually pretty easy but getting and keeping finesse at the same time is the hard work."
