Warm, rich, Grenache-heavy. Like all of Xavier’s ‘15s, it touches all the bases: ripe, tannic and superbly low pH. Saline. Lots of vanilla bean and grated hard spices. Classic. #xavier #gigondas #rhone — 8 years ago

Big red body. Which leads you to big spices of lavender, Rosemary, sage. 70% blend of Grenache 13% Syrah 12% Mourvèdre and 5%cinsault. Dense purple plums and darn cherries.


There are 3 premier Appalachians in rhone. Gigondas, vacqueyras, chateanueuf du pope (the last being the supreme). The story goes that the two keys on the crest of the chateauneuf wine were sealed and punishable by death if you were to drink it if you were not the pope. — 10 years ago

One of those white Burgundies that makes you question the logic of the crowd. Why is no one drinking Monnot? It's imported by the same guy who brings in Jamet. Powerful, intense, pure and showing plenty of pedigree, potential, and freshness tonight. — 11 years ago

9.1

A pinot noir with structure and depth. Nice spice and hint of tobacco. Dark fruits on the palate, medium to high acidity and slightly bitter undertone. Mineral and clean finish. For a price under 40, this 1er is of great value — 9 years ago

This bottle is really pushing the saturation question but remains really focused and expressive. Restrained aromas, full textural. - unfiltered palate. It is top notch Cab Franc in its bass notes. — 11 years ago
