Xavier Vignon - Côtes-du-Rhône SM#3
92/100
James Suckling
"S for Septentrionale and M for Méridionale—a fascinating wine worth discovering!"
“The nose is marked by blackcurrant and blueberries, with notes of flowers and wafer cookies. It is full-bodied with silky tannins. Rich on the palate with dark chocolate and black berries. The finish is concentrated and peppery.” (James Suckling 2023).

Review by Mr. FREDERIC B. Published on November 7, 2023
A well-balanced, full-bodied wine, more substantial than a classic Côtes du Rhône. I don't recognize the tasting notes on the website: we'll see how it develops after some aeration.
