The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine 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.
Wine The 2022 Saint-Joseph Rue des Poissonniers, Paris XVIIIe Red truly exceeds its appellation!
