The second vintage of Xavier Vignon's white Côtes-du-Rhône, this wine is made exclusively from old vines (between 50 and 100 years old) in the southern Vaucluse. 

90/100 - JAMES SUCKLING
"A whole garden of fresh herbs (basil and tarragon) in the nose pulls you into this creamy, medium to full-bodied dry white that also has nice mandarin-orange and ripe-apricot fruit. Soft yet bold finish. Drink now"

 

Terroir

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.
