Producer

Producer

The vines of Domaine de Villaine flourish on the granite and clay-limestone terraces of the Crozes-Hermitage hillsides. This remarkable terroir imparts minerality, depth, and balance to the wine. Cultivated according to the principles of sustainable agriculture, the vines benefit from meticulous work in each plot, promoting a pure expression of the Syrah grape. The planting density and careful selection of the bunches ensure low yields and optimal grape quality.

Owner and history

Domaine de Villaine is run by a passionate team driven by the ambition to produce authentic wines that truly reflect their terroir. The owners, deeply rooted in Rhône Valley tradition, have modernized their approach while maintaining a profound respect for nature and the local winemaking heritage. Their commitment is reflected in sustainable practices, meticulous winemaking, and a constant desire to elevate Syrah through distinctive wines.

Vinification and aging

Domaine de Villaine favors traditional winemaking methods in concrete vats, with gentle pump-overs to preserve the fruit. Fermentation is controlled at low temperatures to retain full aromatic intensity.
This 2022 vintage is then aged in French oak barrels for 12 months, some of which have previously held several wines, to refine the tannins without masking the fruit. A precise aging process that respects the identity of the terroir.
