Cotes Du Rhône Village. What a great an unassuming red. Flavorful, rich red great aroma smooth and complements my spicy baked red snapper. Life is good! — a year ago
Another fabulously pure wine in this eclectic range of southern Rhône experimental cuvées from Xavier Vignon, this time a 100% Mourvèdre from old vines around Vinsobres, from the 2015 vintage.
The nose is large and herbaceous with a great juxtaposition of floral qualities with waves of deep, generous, dark fruit. There’s also spice, camphor, and vanilla best sniffed from a large glass.
The wine is full bodied on the palate, but with great purity and very supple tannins. The finish finds a sweet note and carries on with good length.
Impressive stuff for a Vin de France priced at around £15-20. This is so youthful even now with seven years of age, so I’d love to try it again in years to come. — 2 years ago
