Xavier Vignon
Xavier Vignon inherited from his parents’ two fundamental values: the love for a job well done and the capacity to transmit knowledge.
His in-depth knowledge of the Rhône Valley (34 harvests as an oenologist worldwide), his mentors, all the vintners he has been working with and his incredible memory have been forging his style and identity: Terroir driven, fruity and complex wines supported by freshness and minerality.
