Xavier Vins - Côtes-du-Rhône Villages Bio 2011
90/100
Robert Parker
"The Organic Côtes du Rhône-Villages Organic (produced using biodynamic methods) is a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah. This exceptional cuvée comes from declassified vineyards in Rasteau, as well as from Plan de Dieu, which is the heart of the Côtes-du-Rhône region. It offers excellent texture along with notes of white chocolate, kirsch, blackcurrant, cedar, and spice box, with good acidity; it is full-bodied, fruity with a rich character, and a spicy finish. Best enjoyed over several years.” (Wine Advocate 2012 – Robert Parker)
