Magnum - Saint Joseph Reflet 2009 - François Villard

This red wine from the Rhône Valley, produced by renowned winemaker François Villard, comes from the Saint-Joseph appellation, the chosen home of Syrah. Presented in a magnum format, it offers optimal preservation and more harmonious aging, making it ideal for wine lovers and collectors. The 2009 vintage is considered one of the greatest Rhône vintages of recent decades: warm, sunny, and perfectly balanced, it produced powerful and generous wines with remarkable aging potential.

On tasting, this 2009 Saint-Joseph reveals a deep, almost black color. The nose is of rare intensity, blending ripe black fruits, sweet spices, violets, and smoky touches. On the palate, the texture is ample and velvety, supported by rich but perfectly integrated tannins. The long and persistent finish combines the power of the vintage with the characteristic finesse of François Villard's winemaking.

This magnum of Saint-Joseph Reflet 2009 is the perfect accompaniment to grilled red meat, game in sauce, or a platter of mature cheeses. Served at 17–18°C, after decanting, it will express all its aromatic complexity. Thanks to its magnum size and the quality of the vintage, this wine still has superb aging potential for several years, while offering a rich and memorable tasting experience today.

A great red wine from the northern Rhône, in a generous format, which embodies the power and elegance of the Saint-Joseph appellation in a legendary vintage, enhanced by the talent of François Villard.
