Team Favorites: Francois Villard L'Appel des Sereines

We asked Hunter of Fort Worth Sales what wine he was most excited about right now. Without hesitation: Francois Villard's 2020 'l’Appel des Sereines' Syrah. Hailing from the Ardeche IGP in the Northern Rhone, the name translates in English to "the call of the Sirens". And for good reason— everyone at Serendipity keeps coming back to Villard. Peppery and juicy, this vibrant Syrah is complemented by a smidge of Viognier (circa 7%). A portion of the grapes are fermented whole cluster, and the aging strikes a balance between barrels and foudres. Smoked violets, blueberry, and anise are among the many pretty notes that make up this Siren's song.

About Francois Villard

Brand Story

Trained as a cook, François Villard fell in love with wine at the age of 20. After studying to become sommelier at Tain l'Hermitage, he decided to become a winegrower. He enrolled in Davayé with a mission to obtain the Professional Agricultural Certificate, viticulture and oenology option. At the same time, he acquired his first fallow land in the commune of St Michel in the Condrieu Appellation. The first vine was planted in the spring of 1989, as soon as its patent was obtained. The first Condrieu was produced in 1991 and the first 400 bottles were put on the market in autumn 1992.
