In a few words ...
"terroir: 76 plots on different terroirs: rolled pebbles, sand, clay-limestone marl, mainly in the northern part of the vaucluse and on high-altitude plots. The Grenaches are over 80 years old, the Mourvèdres over 60 and the Syrahs an average of 45 years old!vinification and ageing: fermentation at moderate temperature to promote gentle diffusion of aromatic compounds. Short aging in concrete vats to enhance fruit purity and grape expression. Co-fermentation of grapes for greater aromatic complexity. Aged 100% in concrete vats.Tasting notes: the 2018 Côtes du Rhône is seductive and elegant: a blend of black fruits and garrigue, with flavors of blackberry, pepper... Its beautiful texture and soft tannins make it a very pleasant wine to enjoy right away.Wine and food pairings: lasagne, white and red meats, cheese and charcuterie platters, pizza, stuffed vegetables, grilled meats..."
"The 2012 Côtes du Rhône is another beauty by this team. Licorice, roasted herbs, pepper and plenty of sweet fruit come together in this medium to full-bodied, layered, and textured effort. Made from 60% Grenache, and Mourvedre and Syrah that saw mostly concrete tank, it's a smoking Côtes du Rhône (and a fabulous value) to drink over the coming 3-4 years."

Xavier Vignon
Xavier Vignon is a domain from the region Vallée du Rhône in France, that produces 15 wines available to purchase, including the wine Côtes du Rhône 2012.
Appellation
Côtes-du-Rhône
The appellation Côtes-du-Rhône is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Xavier Vignon and its 15 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
