Southern Rhône, Xavier Vignon, Le Petit Xavier, Vin de France, Rosé
Xavier Vignon is one of the top consultant winemakers in the south of France. He used to be a master Champagne blender (so he knows a thing or two about constructing wines) but now lives in the Rhône Valley from where he visits around 300 estates to advise them on viticulture and vinification. At the end of each year, as he hands over his bill, he offers some of his employers to exchange it for barrels to make his own blends - well, that’s more or less how it works!
The story
Xavier is a great enthusiast of blending and is always on the lookout for terroirs with potential as he works with creative freedom to produce top wines. The result? A collection of wines adding a modern touch to the pure essence of Rhône wines, each one meticulously created with quality fruit collected from carefully-chosen vines: Le Petit Xavier is the perfect way to celebrate the French way to celebrate sunshine and good times!
