Xavier Vignon Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge Cuvee Anonyme 2019 is made from 60% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah and the rest is "field blend" with the following grapes : grenache, vaccarese, counoise, mourvèdre, terret noir and muscardin.
One of Xavier Vignon's first almost anonymous blends only in MAGNUMS !
The grapes come from "collection vines", where many grape varieties are planted together, making it difficult to identify the exact share of each variety: grenache, vaccarese, counoise, mourvèdre, terret noir and muscardin.
Partially destemmed and vinified in a mix of demi-muids and tank, it offers a beautifully pure, vibrant bouquet of black raspberries, white and black pepper, candied orange, and violets. Complex, layered, and nuanced, this beauty is medium to full-bodied, has a seamless texture, and a great finish. It has both elegance and richness, and will keep for 15+ years.
Pairing: Duck in sauce with olives. Ravioli with porcini mushrooms, cream of parsnip and bacon crisps. Partridge leg confit with olive oil.
Review:
"The flagship from Xavier is the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Anonyme, and in 2019 it’s 60% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, and the balance a mix of permitted varieties. Partially destemmed and brought up in a mix of demi-muids and tank, it offers a beautifully pure, vibrant bouquet of black raspberries, white and black pepper, candied orange, and violets. Complex, layered, and nuanced, this beauty is medium to full-bodied, has a seamless texture, and a great finish. It has both elegance and richness, and will keep for 15+ years."

From the caillottes soil type.
A Sancerre fermented and aged in amphorae, straw-colored, with full aromas and a beautiful complexity: grapefruit, honeysuckle, orange blossom and a pinch of curry. A fine sweetness coats an expressive, dynamic and juicy mouth, with a zesty accent. Complete, persistent, its place is at the table, on fish with fennel for example.
A pure expression of Sancerre’s classic terroir. Grown on the appellation’s prized Caillottes soils — shallow, stony limestone mixed with gravel — this Sauvignon Blanc delivers exceptional elegance and vibrancy. The well-draining stones promote deep rooting and early ripening, yielding a wine with bright aromatics of citrus, white peach, fresh herbs, and wet stone. Crisp, lively acidity and a refined, mineral-driven finish make this the quintessential Sancerre — refreshing, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. Ideal as an aperitif or with shellfish, goat cheese, and fresh seafood.
