✨ Technical Specifications
Xavier Vignon's 100% series represents a masterclass in modern Rhône winemaking, designed to express the pure, unadulterated essence of the region's diverse terroirs. The 100 Xavier Rosé is crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail that Vignon applies to his prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape cuvées. Sourced from select vineyards across the Southern Rhône Valley, this rosé captures the sun-drenched, stony soils of the region. Vignon utilizes his extensive scientific background as a consultant oenologist to balance the vibrant, crisp acidity of the grapes with a rich, textured mouthfeel, employing gentle direct pressing and temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation. The result is a wine that pays homage to the historic, easy-drinking rosés of Southern France while showcasing Vignon's signature precision and artistic blending philosophy.
