Characteristics and tasting advice for Xavier Vignon's 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape red

For optimal tasting, it is recommended to taste this wine between 14°C and 16°C.

A silky and delicate red wine from the Rhône Valley

The property

The oenologist 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 produce his own "Xavier" cuvées, blending the best "juices" from carefully selected parcels. Without constraint of terroir or grape variety, Xavier Vignon creates his ideal wine: simple, modern, and above all impressive value for money. The 100% Xavier was born.

The wine

This Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine signed Xavier Vignon is made from grapes from a rigorous selection of 40 parcels located on the northern part of the appellation, resting on soils composed of limestone, red sandstone or even rolled pebbles and brown soils.

Vinification and aging

Vinification by batches, carried out in stainless steel tank (50%), concrete tank (25%) and truncated cone tank (25%). The aging of a duration of 16 months is carried out in several containers: stainless steel tank (50%), foudre (20%), truncated cone tank (5%), demi-muids (5%) as well as in terracotta jars (20%) for 12 months.

Blend

Grenache (75%)
Mourvèdre (10%)
