"A generous, dense and textured red wine, with aromas of blackberries, chocolate wafers, roasted black pepper and sweet spices on the nose. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins. A generous palate of sweet black fruit notes, with great concentration and weight. A touch of spice adds vivacity and intensity to the long finish." (James Suckling 2024)

About the wine:
Made from old vines at the highest elevations in the appellation, Xavier Vignon's Gigondas 2022 is a co-fermented blend of 95% Grenache and 5% Mourvèdre, aged in a large wooden vat. Offering aromas of leather and red and black cherries, it is full-bodied and supple, with an almost creamy texture and a lush, easy-drinking finish.

About the wine:
The nose is immediately generous and seductive, with a lush, exalted quality that draws you in. On the palate, it shows structural balance despite a touch of glycerine. Still a little closed, even with air, the wine hints at a deeper complexity that has yet to emerge. Give it time - keep it until 2032 to let these layers reveal themselves fully.

About the wine:
Xavier Vignon's Gigondas 2022, made from fully destemmed Grenache and Mourvèdre grapes, is 15% alcohol. It reveals aromas of ripe strawberry, raspberry, white pepper, dried herbs and hints of mint. Ripe tannins lend structure to this well-balanced Gigondas 2022, which shows great potential.
