“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. The palate is generous with notes of sweet black fruit, offering great concentration and weight. A hint of spice brings liveliness and intensity to the long finish.” (James Suckling 2024)

About the wine:
Made from old vines located at higher elevations within the appellation, Xavier Vignon’s 2022 Gigondas 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 alluring, with a lush, exuberant quality that draws you in. On the palate, it displays structural balance despite a hint of glycerin. Still somewhat closed, even after some time in the glass, 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 the wine:
Xavier Vignon's 2022 Gigondas, made from fully 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 lend a lovely structure to this well-balanced 2022 Gigondas, which shows great potential.
