François Villard’s Contours de Deponcins is a masterclass in what Viognier can be when it’s handled with precision and restraint. Grown just outside the Condrieu AOC, this 2023 Vin de France bottling captures the same aromatic charm and texture—but with extra lift and freshness.

It leads with classic Viognier perfume—honeysuckle, ripe white peach, and apricot—balanced by a clean, mineral core and just the right amount of richness. There’s no oily excess here—just sleek fruit, fine texture, and a long, cooling finish that makes it shockingly food-friendly.

If you love the idea of Condrieu but want something a little fresher (and far easier on the wallet), Contours de Deponcins is a no-brainer.

Perfect for: roast chicken, spiced vegetable dishes, seafood in creamy sauces, or any night that calls for something lush but refined.

What importer Bowler Wine has to say about this wine...
