Return Policy

To protect the provenance of delivered wines, exchange and returns are not allowed.

Corked Wines

While we make every attempt to provide wines of good quality and provenance, we cannot guarantee the personal 'drinkability' for every bottle we sell. It is the industry standard that older wines are purchased "as is" and at the buyer's risk as to the drinkability of the wine. This policy includes "corked" wines (those tainted with TCA and smell of wet cardboard). This wine fault occurred during the cork selection process and is completely out of our control. For the aforementioned reasons, no refund or exchange will be granted.

100% Syrah

François Villard Saint-Joseph "Mairlant" Rouge 2020 showcases the lively, savory finesse of Northern Rhône Syrah from a celebrated artisan. Deep purple-ruby in the glass, the bouquet is lifted and pure—blackberry, black cherry, blueberry, and violet framed by cracked pepper, smoked meat, olive tapenade, and fresh herbs. The palate is medium-bodied and energetic, with supple yet firm tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of ripe black fruit, spice, black olive, and stony earth. The wine finishes long, peppery, and mineral, reflecting both terroir precision and winemaker signature—a textbook, age-worthy Saint-Joseph.

Domaine François Villard is a well regarded French wine producer located in the northern Rhône. The estate’s first vines were planted in Condrieu in1989, and today the Domaine produces almost 30 different red and white wines from Rhône appellations including Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Peray and Cornas.

Referred to by Robert Parker as one of the “stars” of the Northern Rhone, François Villard came to winegrowing after a career in restaurants, where he moved from chef to sommelier, and went full time as a winegrower in 1991. My philosophy today is to produce authentic and balanced wines. My wines must be as representative as possible of their terroir, by optimizing the minerality as well as possible, which for me is the greatest freshness that one can imagine in a wine. “I am constantly looking for the right balance in my wines, systematically favoring finesse over strength.".
