>> WILLS WINE is an evolution of the past ten years. Using the techniques and information that I’ve learned, to put into practice what my interpretation of wine is. I grew up with wine; you could say it runs in my blood. Which is why now, a decade since my very first harvest, I find myself standing proudly in my own cellar.

My vinification is simple, with the intention to retain energy and craft the style of wines that I’d want to share with friends and family. I only purchase fruit from growers who I like and are working in a way which aligns with my own views, either organically or with respect for their environment.

I produce wines from several different grape varieties, from wildly diverse terroirs that stretch from the southern Beaujolais to Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the Southern Rhône. By working with the same parcels, year after year, I can learn how to express each vineyard. The same philosophy as experienced first-hand from all those wonderful wine producers that I have studied and worked alongside.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Pierre-Yves Colin, Tamra Kelly-Washington, Doug Tunnell, Jean-Louis Chave and Julien Pilon (as well as the countless others) who’ve given me such encouragement and inspiration for Wills Wine.
