The wine

The Reserve X XII XV is made up of 7 grape varieties: Garnacha, Vaccarèse, Counoise, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Terret noir and Muscardin. On the glass side, this wine has an originality and a strong personality. In notes of black fruit such as blackberry, chocolate and rocks on the nose. The palate is smooth and deep with pleasant and fine tannins. A great wine far from its peak, but that already brings many pleasures and sensations.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker and Suckling

A non-vintage blend of Xavier’s favorite vintage, the NV Châteauneuf du Pape X XII XV is a massive, thick, unctuous beauty that’s almost overflowing with notes of dark fruits, blackberries, truffle, chocolate and crushed rock. You almost need a fork to drink this baby, but man, what a wine! It stays lively and fresh, with building tannin, a stacked mid-palate and a big finish. It will take 5-7 years for the baby fat to fall away, and it will have two decades of longevity.

— Jeb Dunnuck (28/10/2016)Robert Parker Wine Advocate95+ PARKER

A super rich and complex style with abundant red, blue and purple fruit aromas framed in fresh herbs, gently spicy and woody notes. The palate has intensity and focus, delivers a ripe, rich and succulent impression and holds long. Delicious Châteauneuf. Drink or hold.
