About this winery

Xavier Vignon is a consultant oenologist who works for many of the leading estates of the southern Rhône. He is passionate about the terroir and style of the wines of the area, while at the same time believing that by selecting and blending different cuvées, grape varieties, estates, he can create a wine which has its own character and perfectly represents Appellation shown on the label. And he has been remarkably successful in proving that he can do exactly that.

Tasting notes

Dark purple, ripe blackberry and mulberry aromas are complemented by smoky herb, anise and fresh violet. Deep, sweet dark berry liqueur flavours show a smooth texture and a long snappy finish. Lots of ripeness and great balance.
