In a few words ...
An exceptional cuvée! It's impossible to give the exact blend of this cuvée, which comes from "collection vines", where numerous grape varieties are planted. Centenarian Grenache, but also Vaccarèse, Counoise, Mourvèdre, Cinsault , Terret Noir and Muscardin. Yields are kept to a minimum, with three vines required for each bottle produced. The vines are located on the northern terroirs of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
C'est la cuvée phare de la sélection, un incontournable !

Excellent bottle, always a success. Would benefit from a few more years of cellaring, but is already easy to appreciate. Tasted with a mature Salers rib of beef and some seasonal vegetables, grilled a la plancha, it revealed its tannins and smoothness.

Excellent value for a Châteauneuf. Open 1 hour before tasting. A dense wine with a lovely bouquet of garrigue, black fruits, liquorice and black olives. Good length and no false notes. Our favorite

Xavier Vignon is always at the top of his game: a wine that's easy to drink thanks to its sweetness, without forgetting the complexity behind it, with very fine, well-integrated oak.

A great wine for laying down. On tasting, it promises a bright future. I recommend waiting at least another 4 or 5 years.

Excellent quality/pleasure ratio thanks to Twil. This bottle should be forgotten for another decade.
Xavier Vignon

Appellation
Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Xavier Vignon and its 12 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
