Producer Information

Xavier Vins is a négociant business run by enologist Xavier Vignon, who also works as a consultant with top Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Rhône estates such as Le Nerthe and Marcoux. Vins established the company in 2002, prompted by wine importer friends who were keen to see him make his own wine. Helped by his connections with top-notch growers and major shippers, the subsequent wines have gained acclaim for quality and value, and gained widespread international distribution. The first release, which is still the figurehead of the range, was a Vin de Table (now Vin de France) made from several vintages and numerous Rhône varieties blended together. A wide number of more conventional red, rosé and white wines are also made, including Rasteau and Gigondas wines plus several Châteauneuf-du-Pape cuvées. The Xavier Vins releases are blends of small lots of made wines selected from the cellars of up to 20 different producers, including many of the star properties for whom Vignon consults.
