XAVIER VIGNON |
| This is the 6th appearance in Vintages. Fairly deep intense purple colour with a refined, gently complex, very slightly spicy, attractive, ripe, plum-cherry-cassis nose with some mineral-tinged, faintly citrusy, gently complex, cedar-sandalwood notes. Dry, medium to medium-full bodied, quite well structured, fairly intense, ripe, plum-cherry-cassis flavours with a lingering, mouthfilling, bright, sandalwood-cedar finish. This new blend of approximately 60% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah and 15% Counoise, Vaccarèse and Muscardin was aged for 18 months 1/3 in concrete tanks, 1/3 in cuve tronconique and 1/3 in half-casks (no new oak). It has 15% alcohol and under 3 g/L residual sugar with no discernible lot numbers on the lower part of the extremely heavy glass bottle. |

| TASTING NOTE: The flagship from Xavier is the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Anonyme, and in 2019 it's 60% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, and the balance a mix of permitted varieties. Partially destemmed and brought up in a mix of demi-muids and tank, it offers a beautifully pure, vibrant bouquet of black raspberries, white and black pepper, candied orange, and violets. Complex, layered, and nuanced, this beauty is medium to full-bodied, has a seamless texture, and a great finish. It has both elegance and richness, and will keep for 15+ years. Maturity: 2020- 2035. Score - 95-97 (jebdunnuck.com, Oct. 6, 2020) |
