The Wine The Wine
France
Region:Rhône
A deep and sinuous red wine, produce from a collection of parcels of fruit that winemaker Xavier Vignon has unearthed in the south of the Rhône Valley. All the grapes are hand harvested from vineyards that are a minimum of 80 years old, which in vine terms, are about as old as you can get! You'll find lots of dark berry fruit, earthy undertones and the high abv% gives the wine a lovely shine to the long and spicy finish.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Xavier Vignon
Originating from Picardie in the North of France, Xavier is proud of his 'Picard' roots and of his modest origins. His mother is an agriculturist, and his father is a stonemason trained by the craftsman's guild "Les Compagnon du Tour de France". Xavier was brought up the hard way which has given him good, strong values - the love for a job well done, but also a certain contrarian state of mind.
"I'm very proud of this blend, it is one that captures the essence of the venerable old vines we have here in the south of the Rhône Valley. A dense wine with masses of fruit and plenty of complexity and structure." - Xavier Vignon, Winemaker.
