Southern Rhône, Xavier Vignon, Barbare Estate Cuvée Xl, Turkey, Rouge
Xavier inherited from his parents two fundamental values: the love for a job well done and the capacity to transmit knowledge. His in-depth knowledge, his mentors, all the vintners have been working with and his incredible memory have been forging his style and identity : terroir driven, fruity and complex wines supported by freshness and minerality. Each cuvee under the Arcane series is the solo expression of a vintage, a grape or a terroir.
Presentation
Châteauneuf-du-Pape style in Turkey! Born in 2000 on the shores of the Marmara Sea in the Thrace region of Turkey, the Barbare estate flourishes in a climate that's ideal for growing vines. The vineyard extends over 25 hectares of vines cultivated using organic and biodynamic methods. As consultant oenologist, Xavier Vignon is on site several times a year to accompany the teams through all stages of the vineyard and winemaking process. Cuvée XL Premier is the fruit of this joint effort.
