WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Xavier Vignon Vacqueyras 2022 is produced using certified organic and sustainable farming practices. Grapes are hand-harvested and then vinified in concrete vats. A four-week maceration period is employed for gentle extraction. The aging process varies by varietal: Grenache and Mourvèdre mature for 18 months in concrete vats, while Syrah is aged for 6 months in concrete and then 12 months in barrels. This approach aims to highlight the purity of fruit and the distinct characteristics of each grape and vineyard.
