A rising star of the Rhône Valley and awarded 1 star by RVF, Julien Pilon has captured the attention of even the most discerning enthusiasts, making his wines highly sought after. Having trained with some of the greats—Yves Cuilleron, Pierre Gaillard, Pierre-Jean Villa, and Mas Amiel—he brings a refined, terroir-focused approach to his winemaking.
His wines from the finest northern Rhône Valley appellations delight fans of freshness and purity, with whites known for their incredible precision and reds that are equally impressive. The downside? His success, combined with limited production, makes availability a challenge. |

The palate is equally captivating, offering dense texture, depth, and a beautiful mineral brightness that ensures freshness, along with enveloped, velvety tannins. This harmonious wine will only refine over the next decade and ranks in the top 10 of the finest cuvées we’ve tasted in recent years! |
