Xavier Vignon is a consultant oenologist who works at some of the most illustrious estates in the southern Rhône Valley, notably in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Thanks to this privileged position, and aided by his experience as a flying winemaker (he has also worked in Australia, New Zealand, California, Bordeaux and Champagne), Xavier Vignon has the opportunity to buy wines from world-renowned estates (which are not offered to traditional wine merchants), and blend them with more confidential but equally high-quality wines to sell under his own brand, simply called Xavier.
Depending on the opportunity, Xavier blends are of impeccable quality, without reaching the prices of the illustrious estates from which they originate (whose names are never divulged). From Vin de Table to Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Champagne, Xavier wines boast exceptional value for money. The brand is becoming known the world over, and more and more amateur and professional tasters are commenting on Xavier wines.
