“Poivre et Sol” – literally meaning Pepper + soil = Pure Northern Rhône Synergy. This 100% Syrah (from 20-year-old vines) comes roaring out of Saint-Joseph - one of the region’s true heavy hitters and an under-the-radar rockstar for serious Syrah lovers. Greeks and Romans were planting vines here long before AOCs were a thing, and those granite hillsides still deliver the goods: crushed black pepper, dark berries, savory earth, and a mineral snap that keeps every sip electric. Bold, structured, and dangerously drinkable - this bottle brings the spice and the soul.

Standing on a history of multiple 90+ point vintages, the 2024 François Villard – Saint-Joseph “Poivre et Sol” is a true portfolio darling. Villard leans into 80% whole-cluster fermentation (indigenous yeast, obviously) in a mix of open-top stainless and wood tanks, dialing up spice, lift, structure, and aromatic complexity - a classic Rhône move - before aging 15 months in mostly neutral barrels. The irresistible medium-bodied result delivers bright fruit, refined tannins, and subtle earthiness, pairing beautifully with grilled or roasted red meats, duck, hearty stews… or simply cashmere and candlelight.

If you’re looking for a well-priced reflection of classic Rhône terroir, THIS IS IT! Seriously… NO Compromises. Pepper, minerality, and that signature Saint-Joseph savory edge all come together in a bottle that’s equally fun to sip now or pop in the cellar for a few years.

This one won’t wait. Neither should you.
