A novelty from Xavier Vignon, and it's worth the detour. A wine full of character, powerful and fruity at the same time. This wine will please the Côtes du Rhône wine lovers.more reviews

"A full-bodied style but without being stitched together (...) silky tannins and a very broad finish (...) Another unique wine of this incredible vineyard!" Jeb Dunnuck

The conclusion of a long-term project by Xavier Vignon: a blend of Champagne pushed to its peak! Five of the most popular vintages of recent years that are the expression of about 10 southern terroirs of the Rhône Valley including Chateauneuf du Pape, Rasteaux, Ventoux, the high-altitude plots of Côtes du Rhône Villages... All this around 15 varieties of Grenache, mainly late harvests.

This is the third Xavier red I've had, all excellent. Amoureux was probably the best of the group but Fou is my current house red, replacing Janasse Argile for the time being.

Plum and truffle aromas serve as a wonderful introduction to this wine. Very pronounced petrichor flavors pair beautifully with blackberry and leather. This is medium-full bodied and has a beautiful tannic structure.

XAVIER VIGNON

Xavier Vignon is one of the most renowned oenologists in the Rhone wine region. He has worked as a consultant to more than 200 wineries in the Rhone Valley and has gained a worldwide reputation for his expertise and collaboration on the best wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. He started his own production in 2002, and the winery is now known for wines of exceptional quality and Xavier Vignon's own style of wine, both of which make him a successful winemaker. Elegant and well-balanced wines that beautifully reflect the terroir, because terroir and minerality are the philosophy of his work and not only in wine production, as he also runs an oenological institute, where he explores these aspects. His wines obtain the highest scores in the Robert Parker Guide.
