Xavier Vins L'Esprit Fancais Vendemiaire II Rouge Vin de France NM NV
Rhone Blends | France
$19.95 $30.00 - 750mL
By now, you know – Oenologist consultant for twenty years in Chateauneuf-du-Pape and Southern Rhone Valley, Xavier Vignon is considered one of the most prominent consultants in the region. He assembles his own wines under his signature by adding a touch of modernity to the sincere expression of the Rhone terroirs. Xavier is a man who knows the terroirs of the southern Rhone Valley as well as anyone in the world, and with his massive roster of all-star clients that he consults for, it is no wonder how wines like this are possible.
L'Esprit Français Vendémiaire II is a non-vintage blend of 70% grenache, 20% syrah, 10% mourvedre, and drinks fantastically right out of the gate. Sun-drenched blue fruits galore, clear, pure cassis notes, bright, yet dark, rich, and satisfying, with plenty of spice from old-vine grenache, pepper and sweet strawberries. So GOOD and made from organic grapes.
On the last few cases...while it lasts!
PAIRING IDEAS: Tacos. Not exactly French, of course, but so good with this fun red. Asada, pastor - you pick it, just load up with them! A queso fundido would be a much-recommended addition, too!
MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: The Beach Boys' “Kokomo” is one of the goofiest songs ever, but seems just right for this wine and those tacos...

James Suckling
Aromas of blackcurrants, dried blueberries, stewed cherries, licorice, olives and chili jam. It’s medium-to full-bodied with sleek, ripe tannins. Intensely flavored and spiced with a savory, herb and saline finish. Quite rich. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
