Saint Joseph Reflet 2003 - François Villard

This red wine from the Rhône Valley, produced by the talented winemaker François Villard, comes from the Saint-Joseph appellation. The 2003 vintage, marked by a particularly hot summer, produced powerful, concentrated wines with great aromatic richness. The Reflet cuvée perfectly embodies François Villard's generous and expressive style.

On tasting, this Saint-Joseph 2003 reveals a deep colour with garnet highlights. The nose is intense, dominated by notes of ripe black fruit, liquorice, spices and leather, typical of Syrah in this sunny vintage. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with mellow tannins and remarkable length. Despite its power, the wine retains a beautiful balance, testimony to François Villard's expertise in producing great Rhône wines.

This Saint-Joseph Reflet 2003 is the ideal accompaniment to grilled red meats, a rack of lamb with herbs or game in sauce. Serve at around 17–18°C, after aeration to reveal its full complexity. With over twenty years of ageing, this wine is now at its ideal maturity, offering a rich and accomplished tasting experience.

A Rhône red wine that reflects the greatness of the Saint-Joseph appellation, the intensity of the 2003 vintage and the renowned talent of François Villard.
