Xavier Vignon, AOP Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Century-old vines on clay soils with galets roulés (rounded white stones).

Old-vine Grenache and Mourvèdre, with Counoise, Vaccarèse and other varieties from mixed old plantings. Traditional vinification with 1 month maceration. Aged over 15 months: 25% in French oak barrels, 25% in oak vats, 25% in demi-muids and 25% in concrete tanks. Light filtration before bottling.

El Cuvée Anonyme 2017 es un vino tinto elaborado por la bodega Xavier Vignon, situado en la denominación de origen Châteauneuf-du-Pape, dentro de la región del Ródano, Francia. La uva procede de viñas centenarias plantadas sobre suelos de arcilla mezclados con galets, conocidos como cantos rodados blancos.

La vinificación se realiza siguiendo métodos tradicionales, con una maceración que se extiende por un mes. Tras la fermentación, el vino es criado durante más de 15 meses. Este periodo de crianza se reparte de manera equitativa: un 25% transcurrido en barricas francesas, otro 25% en cubas de roble, un 25% en demi-muids y el restante 25% en depósitos de cemento. Antes de su llegada a la botella, el vino recibe una filtración ligera.

En la cata, el perfil aromático presenta notas tostadas, cedro y vainilla que se suman a una amplia gama de frutos. Abundan los arándanos, cerezas negras y fruta de hueso. Se describe como un tinto de cuerpo lleno, sedoso y preciso, con un final largo.

La puntuación otorgada por The Wine Advocate es de 95 puntos. En su valoración desde barrica, se destaca que el vino promete ser un esfuerzo excelente. Este conjunto de factores define al Cuvée Anonyme 2017 como un vino de gran estructura y concentración.

PARKER: 95

Tasted from barrel, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Anonyme adds toasty notes, cedar and vanilla to the whirlwind of fruit Vignon was able to harness in 2017. Blueberries, black cherries and stone fruit notes abound in this plush, full-bodied red that remains silky and focused on the long finish. It looks to be a terrific effort.

Learn more about Xavier Vignon

Xavier Vignon came to wine through the laboratory, not the vineyard. He is technical director and head oenologist of the Laboratoire Avignon Oenologie Conseil and advises more than three hundred estates, among them many of the best known in Châteauneuf-du-Pape: Raymond Usseglio, La Gardine, Jérôme Quiot, Beaurenard, La Nerthe, Mont-Redon, Marcoux and Grand Veneur.

In 2002 he set up Xavier Vins, a very small négociant house, and here is the striking part: its raw material is the wine he accepts as payment for the laboratory's services. He is paid in wine and he bottles it.

From that comes the Cuvée Anonyme, blended from barrels selected at estates he advises. It is called anonymous because he cannot say where it comes from: discretion towards his clients prevents him naming the source. It is a bottle that gives up precisely what fine wine usually sells itself on, which is saying where it is from.

One of the houses he advises, Raymond Usseglio, is also in our catalogue.
