we have been tasting and drinking Xavier Vignon's wines since 2002 from his first crop, of which we have two bottles left to celebrate his the anniversary with, to his present crop. These wines are among the best that we have ever tasted. His wines are now a must and keep well in my cellar under ration)

We hope that he continues to go from strength to strength.

We have been tasting and drinking all of Xavier Vignon,s wine since 2002 and I can honestly say they are amongst the best I have tasted, from the first bottle of which I have a pair left for his 10th anniversary, to his present crop.
