The 2017 François Villard Condrieu DePoncins is a characterful white wine from Condrieu in the northern Rhône. The appellation is dedicated entirely to Viognier and is known for its full-bodied, aromatic white wines with a unique combination of ripe fruit, floral aromas, and minerality.
DePoncins is one of François Villard’s most distinctive Condrieu cuvées. The 2017 vintage has now undergone a fine period of bottle aging. As a result, the youthful fruit has given way to a richer and more complex aromatic profile.
The steep vineyards of Condrieu provide the backdrop for François Villard’s DePoncins. Here, it’s all about Viognier: a grape that combines aromas of apricot, peach, and flowers with a full-bodied, smooth texture. In this 2017 vintage, bottle aging may have added extra nuance. Pour a generous glass, serve it not too cold, and discover how the wine continues to open up when paired with a refined fish dish or poultry.
Ripe peach, apricot, and citrus notes are combined with floral aromas, herbs, and mineral undertones. On the palate, the wine is rich and concentrated, with a smooth texture, plenty of freshness, and a long, aromatic finish.
Serve at around 10–12°C. Pairs well with rich fish dishes, lobster, scallops, poultry with creamy sauce, Asian-spiced dishes, and mild cheeses.
François Villard is one of the well-known producers in the northern Rhône. From his estate, he works with appellations such as Condrieu, Côte-Rôtie, and Saint-Joseph. DePoncins demonstrates just how distinctive and complex Viognier can become on the steep slopes of Condrieu.
