The lastest 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. 

Sight 
Yellow color with green and brilliant reflections

Smell
Aromas of citrus fruits, white peach, apricot and mineral notes brought by the Viognier. 

Taste 
Ample, rich and fresh on the palate with a long sapid and very mineral finish. 

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.
