A Vintage Assessments Explorer's Selection! |
Xavier Vincent has been making wine in the Rhône Valley for 15 years. This rosé is based on the Grenache grape, and its 2015 iteration was awarded 90 points by Jeb Dunnuck (robertparker.com, May 29, 2016). Expect similar greatness and plenty of juicy red berry fruit from this vintage. |
