Description

Voici l’un des vins les plus exclusifs élaborés par Xavier Vignon, comme l’attestent ses 95 Parker. Malgré cela, ce vin reste relativement abordable si on le compare à d’autres vins de la même catégorie, ce qui le rend idéal pour les occasions les plus spéciales. Il est élaboré à partir d’une longue liste de cépages autorisés pour l’AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape, comme le Grenache, Monastrell, Syrah, Counoise et Vaccarese ; ou encore la Clairette et le Picpoul dans les cépages blancs. Il peut être conservé en cave entre 15 et 20 ans.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

The striking 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Anonyme is 60% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre and the rest minor varieties (there's no Syrah). Aged in a mix of foudres, demi-muids, barriques and concrete tanks, it shows hints of mocha and toast on the nose, but the blackberry and red plum fruit is mouthwatering and fresh, richly concentrated and spicy. Full-bodied, it manages to be ripe, silky and concentrated, while remaining crisp on the lengthy finish. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.

Jeb Dunnuck:

The 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Anonyme is the flagship and is mostly Grenache that was sourced from numerous terroirs throughout Châteauneuf-du-Pape and brought up in a mix of tank and barrels (some new). 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.

James Suckling:

Aromas of roses and purple cherries, as well as cassis, leading to a palate that delivers a very fresh, vibrant core of blue and purple berries. Drink or hold.
