Reviews of Xavier Vignon Cuvée Anonyme Châteauneuf du Pape 2016
The best of the meal was this wine. I had it with my friends at home.
Ripe cherry colour, medium opacity. It disclosed a very nice smell of white roses. Raspberry flavour.

I bought it because it was recommended to me.
Red almost purple colour. Notes of strawberry on the nose. I liked its acidity.

Aromas of oak. I didn't notice any aftertaste, but the taste was right.
I bought a box at Xavier Vins D'Experts and I will buy it again here.

A wine consisting mostly of Grenache that was sourced from numerous terroirs throughout Châteauneuf-du-Pape and brought up in a mix of tank and barrels.
It offers a rocking bouquet of black raspberries, blueberries, lavender, Asian spices, and graphite. Like all of Xavier's 2016s, it has purity, freshness, and richness, yet still packs ample richness and depth. Give this full-bodied, elegant red another few years, and it will keep for a decade.
