Description
Established since 2005 in the core of the iconic southern Rhône Valley appellation of Châteauneufdu- Pape, Maison Xavier Vignon shapes its own creations with boldness, authenticity, creativity and respect for the terroirs.
Earning an impressive 92 points from James Suckling and 90-92 points from Robert Parker and Jeb Dunnuck, this wine pours a pale red with striking copper highlights. The nose is captivating, delivering alluring aromas of dark cherry interwoven with subtle hints of bay leaf and fresh mint. On the palate, it is full-bodied, rich, and beautifully silky. Fine tannins and good acidity provide superb balance, driving towards a remarkably lively finish. It pairs flawlessly with delicious slow-roasted lamb dishes.
