Xavier Vignon Chateauneuf du Pape Anonyme 2016

95+ Points - Jeb Dunnuck

The 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Anonyme 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 2016's, it has purity, freshness, and richness, yet still packs ample richness and depth.
