The 2016 Villars has come together beautifully. Lavender, rose petal, mint and sweet red/purplish berries all lift from the glass. This is an especially perfumed, silky Fronsac built on finesse and understated energy. All the elements meld together effortlessly.
Wine Advocate

The 2016 Villars has a more classically-driven, perhaps backward bouquet compared to its Fronsac peers, and it required some time to open in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet, candied opening. It feels like this has undergone a little more maceration than others and feels just a tad overdone on the finish.

Big and bold, this wine powered by Merlot shows its richness and alcohol, leaving a bitter edge. Wood aging has given some attractive minty character to the wine, but it is powerful and heavy. Drink from 2022.
