About the Winemaker
Villard Fine Wines was established in 1989 by Thierry Villard in the Casablanca Valley, making it Chile's first family premium boutique wine company. Over three decades, it has consistently been recognized as one of the finest producers of cool-climate wines in Chile.
Thierry Villard was born in France, lived in Switzerland and England, and by age 20 was in Australia where he spent nearly two decades in the wine industry including marketing for Orlando Wines and Jacob's Creek. In 1989 he brought his family to Chile and pioneered the Casablanca Valley when it was practically unknown. Today, son Jean-Charles Villard (JCV) leads the second generation, bringing innovating techniques learned from vintages at Château Palmer, Marcel Lapierre in Beaujolais, and Château de la Tour in Clos Vougeot.
Farming & Cellar: The Casablanca Valley, just 70 kilometers from Santiago and 25 kilometers from the Pacific, benefits from the cooling Humboldt Current creating morning fog and moderate temperatures that express as bright acidity and fresh aromas. The family established a joint-venture cooperage with French cooper Nadalié to produce custom barrels specifically designed for their wines. Each wine is aged in barrels created by their own tonelería, a true family-run operation.
