The first vintage of Xavier Vignon's white Côtes-du-Rhône, this wine is made exclusively from plots in the southern Vaucluse, in the Southern Rhône Valley.
91/100 - JAMES SUCKLING
"Aromas of honeysuckle, cooked apple, peach and lemon curd. It’s medium-to full-bodied with gentle acidity. Smooth and creamy with some blanched almond on the finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now."
This blend comes from clay-limestone soils in the south of the Vaucluse, bringing freshness and acidity. The gravelly soils are what give this wine the beautiful balance and power of this wine, without losing elegance and minerality.
