Discover the grape variety: Villard
Simple whites or reds with a pale golden or deep ruby hue, a supple palate with moderate acidity and understated fruity aromas with discreet hybrid notes. Disease-resistant. Now marginal, they survive in a few heritage plots in France and bear witness to the post-phylloxera hybridisations of the first half of the 20th century. Synonym for the Villard Blanc and Villard Noir varieties, French hybrids obtained by Bertille Seyve in Bourgoin-Jallieu.

The wine region of Moulin-à-Vent
Beaujolais cru nicknamed "the lord", the most structured, age-worthy reds of the 10 crus. Signature Gamay noir: deep ruby robe with signature notes of black cherry, plum, violet, iris, sweet spices and a mineral iron touch, firm tannins and a dense palate — close to Burgundian Pinot Noir with age (5-15 years). Terroir: friable pink granite arenas ("gore") and manganese veins, signing intensity. ~670 ha.

Kingdom of Gamay (98% of the vineyard): fruity, accessible reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, banana (carbonic maceration), violet and sweet spices, supple tannins and juicy acidity. From festive Beaujolais Nouveau (3rd Thursday of November) to the 10 more structured, age-worthy Crus: deep earthy Morgon, sturdy Moulin-à-Vent, floral Fleurie, crunchy Brouilly. Some lively Chardonnay. 12,000 ha south of Burgundy, granitic soils.
