“It offers a rocking bouquet of black raspberries, blueberries, lavender, Asian spices, and graphite." - Jeb Dunnuck. "...mouthwatering and fresh, richly concentrated and spicy." - Robert Parker, Jr.

Just a few of the words from the pros! We’ve been working with super-consultant, maverick, brilliant Xavier Vignon for years now, and that relationship continues to bear delicious, brilliant wines, like this “Anonyme” (the top Chateauneuf cuvee) at the best pricing in the U.S. -- next best price is $60!

Gorgeously perfumed, so silky on the palate, and loaded with pure Grenache fruit, this just carries you off into the south of France immediately. Strawberry, kirsch, baking spices, sweet herbs, mocha…. Just a WOW wine any way you slice it!

You GOTTA grab this – double 95s and under $40?! Read the reviews below, but do not wait too long… This won’t last!


95+ Jeb Dunnuck -
The 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Anonyme is the flagship and 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 2016s, it has purity, freshness, and richness, yet still packs ample richness and depth. Give this full-bodied, elegant red another few years, and it will keep for a decade.
95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
The striking 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Anonyme is 60% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre and the rest minor varieties (there's no Syrah). Aged in a mix of foudres, demi-muids, barriques and concrete tanks, it shows hints of mocha and toast on the nose, but the blackberry and red plum fruit is mouthwatering and fresh, richly concentrated and spicy. Full-bodied, it manages to be ripe, silky and concentrated, while remaining crisp on the lengthy finish. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
93 Vinous -
Brilliant magenta. Expansive red and blue fruit, floral pastille, exotic spice and vanilla qualities on the highly fragrant nose. Broad and seamless on the palate, showing appealingly sweet Chambord, boysenberry, lavender and spicecake flavors that pick up a zesty mineral flourish with air. Plenty rich but lively as well. Finishes impressively long and smooth, with resonating florality and velvety, slow-building tannins.
92 James Suckling -
Aromas of roses and purple cherries, as well as cassis, leading to a palate that delivers a very fresh, vibrant core of blue and purple berries. Drink or hold.
