In 2009, after gaining experience in both Burgundy and the Rhône, Pierre Jean Villa took a leap of faith and went out on his own, creating Domaine Pierre Jean Villa, from scratch, in the Northern Rhône Valley.
“Preface comes from the Latin prae: before and fari: speak. First cuvée of the estate, she prepares those that will follow and invites you to discover them.”
This cuvée is 100% Syrah, coming from vines that are 30 to 90 years old, grown in the northern, cooler part of the appellation. The wine is macerated for 20 days and spends 14 months in 500 litre barrels. The nose is abundant with aromas of violets, blueberries and black pepper, on the palate you’ll find flavours of baking spices, cola, black plums, olives and blackberries. The finish is persistent with loads of minerality. Pair this with grilled portobello mushrooms or BBQ’d ribs.
