A scientist at heart, Xavier Vignon decided to follow his own path rather than the one traced by his father, a journeyman in stone cutting, and become an oenologist. Thanks to his many experiences in the four corners of the world, Xavier was quickly recognized among his peers for his work as a consultant oenologist. With time, his passion pushed him towards winemaking. The samples sent to the press by one of his friends, without his knowledge, mark the beginning of a great adventure.

Although a job is waiting for him in Australia, Xavier decides to add a last step to his tour of the French vineyards. He heads for the Southern Rhone Valley, where he discovers the magnificent Dentelles de Montmirail, the multiplicity of its grape varieties and different terroirs…Which will decide him to stay for good! He then started his activity as a consultant oenologist before buying 35 hectares of vines to make his own wine and give free rein to his creativity.

To bring out the purity and salinity of his wines, Xavier is constantly experimenting with new techniques of maturation and vinification. As a true master winemaker, he crafts his wines as the perfect image of the best of their terroirs and grape varieties. He does not hesitate to blend vintages together in the “champenoise” style and go beyond the restrictions of the appellations to create truly exceptional and unique wines.
