Xavier Vignon Cotes du Rhone Rouge Cuvee Vieilles Vignes Organic is made from 50% Grenache, 40% Mourvdre, 5% Syrah and 5% Cinsault.The ersity of terroirs used in this blend allows this wine to combine freshness and balance.We used Clay and limestone plots located on the hillside where old Grenache naturally express roasted hints. We could obtain in this wine empyreumatical hints without the use of barrels. These plots particular soils and orientation allowed grapes to reach an optimal level of ripeness while conserving a good acidity level.We also integrated grapes coming from plots located on red rocky clay soils also named garrigues. These big red stone are restituting heat coming from the sun at night and bring power and structure to the wine.Also the blend features vines coming from sandy clays, which are light and rather fresh soils: this allowed the wine to maintain a freshness and vivacity.Bouquet of cassis, blueberries, lavender, cured meats, and graphite. It's deep, rich, medium to full-bodied, and has a great finish. The Mourvdre keeps this tight and fresh.Pairs with grilled beef rib - Veal Columbo - Pork ribs slightly spiced Review: The spicy nose with a slew of red-fruit aromas pulls you into this full-bodied but lively and very well-balanced Cote-du-Rhone. Lovely, creamy texture that's neatly supported by fine tannins. Long, supple finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (March 2022), 92
