François Villard : Jouvet 2017

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The success of Villard's 2017 Cornas Jouvet makes it two years in a row for this cuvée. Made entirely as whole clusters but aged in older barrels, this wine showcases expressive flavors of cola, plum, cassis and dried spices, an expansive, full-bodied palate and ripe, creamy tannins that develop a pleasant chewiness on the wine's lengthy finish.
