François Villard Condrieu “De Poncins” 2023 is a highly expressive single-vineyard Viognier from one of the Northern Rhône’s most respected producers. Sourced from steep granite terraces in the Condrieu appellation, this cuvée represents a more structured, mineral-driven and precise expression of Viognier compared to broader Condrieu styles.

The 2023 vintage is defined by purity, tension, and aromatic depth. While still showcasing the classic richness of Viognier, it leans more toward elegance and vibrancy, with finely integrated oak and a strong granite backbone. The result is a wine that balances opulence with restraint, offering both immediate pleasure and notable ageing potential.

“De Poncins” is widely regarded as one of François Villard’s most serious and terroir-focused Condrieu bottlings, delivering depth, finesse, and a long, mineral finish.
