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

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

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

About wine:
Xavier Vignon's Gigondas 2022, made from entirely destemmed Grenache and Mourvèdre grapes, has an alcohol content of 15%. It reveals aromas of ripe strawberry, raspberry, white pepper, dried herbs, and hints of mint. Ripe tannins give this well-balanced Gigondas 2022 a beautiful structure and great potential.
