Knock-out wines at every price point, huge Parker scores and really sharp pricing easily makes Xavier Vignon one of Nicholas Wines most requested and commented upon producer. He continues to add to his portfolio of wines, each time pulling another rabbit from his hat that wows both critics and consumers alike.
His latest release, a dry, Provençal-styled rosé comes from 80-100 year old vines rooted in clay and gravel soils in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Lirac. It’s a killer bottle of rosé, loaded with raspberry and wild strawberry aromas and flavors, touched with subtle, savory spice. It’s fresh, vibrant wine, perfect with the cuisine of summer. It’s a wine for Tuesday night made by one of the masters of the Saturday nighter. But it always runs out too quickly so jump on it right now!

This is a killer bottle of wine! Everything Xavier makes flies out the door at Nicholas and for good reason. He’s consistently one of the best winemakers in CdP.
Though it’s fruity, this wine is bone-dry making it an ideal wine to pair with food. Might we suggest a watermelon salad with cucumbers and feta cheese?!?
Winemaker Marjorie Gallet’s Effet Papillon Rouge is a terrific blend of Grenache, Syrah and Carignane, harvested from the iron rich soil just outside of Rivesaltes at the base of Pyrenees. This one is a vibrant wine, with aromas of wild black raspberries and sweet spices. The mid palate is rich and velvety, with a core of sweet black fruit that finishes fresh, long and silky. At the price, it’s a no-brainer case buy.

“The 2020 Nerello Mascalese Rosé di Adele keeps you at the edge of the glass with a delicate yet stunning bouquet of ripe peach laced with candied ginger and a dusting of sweet spice. Its textures are fleshy, yet the expression is lifted and spry, with a vivid display of freshly sliced pear, while drenched in minerals and motivated by lively acidity. There’s a crunchy feel through the finale, as the palate reverberates with residual tension…”
The 2021 Studio by Miraval Provence Rose is a vibrant blend of Rhone varietals that has a completely different mouthfeel and stylistic approach than its cousin and manages to crush it the same. From the winemakers at Beaucastel, it’s hardly a surprise. This one has a similar pale salmon color, but is a fresher, racier version of Rose that is not as fleshy and fruity and instead is more high-toned and refreshing as a result. There’s still great fruit here by way of wild strawberries, raspberry and rhubarb with a mineral streak on the finish that finishes smooth, dry and long.

The winery made famous by Brad Pitt and Angelina is more famous in the wine world for their fleet of top Provencal Roses made by none other than superstar winemaker Marc Perrin, who has countless times turned the wine world on its head with his 100-point Chateauneuf du Papes at Chateau de Beaucastel. His newly released 2021 Miraval Rose shines with a beautiful salmon color, juicy notes of macerated cherries, strawberry currants, citrus and a lemon zest. It flashes that refreshing minerality that has become a Provence signature but crafted at 1100 ft above sea level, its crispness and vibrancy is unparalleled.
