Product Notes

Domaine François Villard's l'appel des Sereines Syrah is a noteworthy French wine displaying an array of complexity. Its bouquet boasts a rich amalgamation of dark berries and spices, offering an enchanting mix of black currant, thyme, and clove notes. The palate incites sensorial intrigue of plum, black cherry and blackberry, contrasted subtly by undertones of white pepper and licorice. The wine is elegant, medium-bodied, and copiously layered, with velvety tannins for a supple, lingering finish. An exquisite choice for a sophisticated dinner party or an indulgent solo evening in, this Syrah is a remarkable representative of Rhône's finest.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby red in colour.

Plummy red berry aromas on the nose with subtle hints of toastiness and spices.

Full-bodied on the palate yet soft and elegant with fine-grained tannins with lots of red berry and cherry fruit, pepper, spice and hints of oak from the time spent in barrels.

About the Winery

Domaine François Villard

Nestled in the heart of the Rhône Valley, Domaine François Villard is truly an emblem of French viticulture. Founded in 1989 by the eponymous François Villard, this winery has garnered extensive admiration for its dedication towards cultivating exquisite wines.

The vineyard, spanning over 30 hectares, is home to a striking variety of grapes. Maison François Villard smiles upon the Mediterranean climate that makes it conducive to grow Syrah, Marsanne, Roussanne, and Viognier, the famed grape varieties of the Rhône Valley. Each vineyard is treated distinctly, as different as their soils and as singular as the grape they harbour. Promising an amalgamation of elegance, complexity, and longevity, their wines truly echo the essence of the terrain.

Also, they lean towards organic and biodynamic farming techniques, as endorsed by François Villard himself. This ideology stems from the belief that wine should not just reflect the grape but also the very essence of the terroir from which they sprout. While he's keen to experiment with different vineyard management techniques, François Villard is committed to maintaining the quality and consistency of his wines, above anything else/

The winery not only caters to the bonvivant, with a marvellous range of wines, but it is also an open house for tours and tastings to share the nuanced art of winemaking. Visitors can absorb the authentic French spirit, viewing the cellars and barrels, understanding the bottling process, and immersing themselves in the voyage from grape to glass.

The prestige and distinction of Domaine François Villard derives from its meticulous cultivation, innovative ethos, and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or a keen novice, a visit to their vineyards will surely offer an engaging sojourn into the French wine-making tradition.
