The aromatic expression and refinement of a red wine from the Rhône Valley

The property

The winemaker Xavier Vignon has built an international reputation by providing his expert advice to more than 200 estates and participating in the development of the most prestigious wines of the Rhône Valley, especially in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. In 2002, he began to create his own "Xavier" branded cuvées, blending the best "juices" from carefully selected parcels. Without any constraints of terroir or grape variety, Xavier Vignon creates his ideal wine: simple, modern, and above all, impressively good value for money. The 100% Xavier was born.
