The vines had been devastated by phylloxera and were replanted in 1906. Part of todays production (20%) are those same replanted which are now 97 years old. The remaining 80% is composed of vines planted in 1950, as a result, Villeneuve is classified as "vielles vignes", or old vines. This producer is organic and bio-dynamic. Year after year, his wines are very highly rated.
