Tasting notes
A bit cedary and dry, the 2017 Cotes du Rhone Vieilles Vignes is showing a bit too much wood at the moment, but I expect this full-bodied, blackberry-laced beauty to come around by 2020.

The 2017 Côtes du Rhône Cuvée Vieilles Vignes is a smoking good Côtes du Rhône and offers full-bodied aromas and flavors of blackberries, black raspberries, cassis, lavender, and flowers. It's rich and concentrated, yet also elegant, weightless, and layered, with notable complexity. Xavier Vignon is one of the top oenologists in the Southern Rhône and releases a bevy of outstanding wines under his own label.
