Domaine de Villeneuve was owned by the Arnaux family until they sold it to Philippe du Roy de Blicquy and his business partner, Stanislas Wallut in 1993. Ten years later, in 2003, Wallut bought out his partner and became sole owner of Domaine Villeneuve. At the time of the initial purchase Domaine de Villeneuve was in poor condition and needed extensive, work in the vineyards and wine making facilities; the cellars and winemaking facilities have since been completely rebuilt and now present as some of the most modern facilities in the southern Rhone. And, with Philippe Cambie as consultant, the estate now uses entirely biodynamiv farming techniques. The 20-some acres of vineyards are perfectly located in the north of the appellation, not far from Chateau Beaucastel on one side and with Mont Redon on the other, and is the usual douthern Rhone mix dominated by Grenache; the vines are between 30 years of age and 100. This is classic Chateauneuf, medium-bodied, soft and polished, with licorice and floral notes and a fruit-filled, spicy, black raspberry and peppery finish.
