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?!?
The rolling hills of Vias along the Mediterranean coast is the perfect place to grow special, meaningful Pinot Noir that doesn’t break the bank. For one, the coastal breezes as we’ve seen time and again are essential for building beautiful natural acidity. But then there’s also the rocky volcanic soil that Comtesse Marion is treated to in the Languedoc. That gives the wine a depth of flavors and great concentration but without too much weight. The vines are also all over 30 years in age, an advantage over their peers for sure.

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 2022 Miraval Rose has a great salmon color with 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.

This is a Nicholas Faithful favorite. Even though it’s technically a non-vintage it was last disgorged in the 2020 vintage. La Cravantine, is a sparkling rosé of 100% Cabernet Franc, bone-dry, super fresh and with bubbles so tiny and fine, it puts most “real” Champagne to shame. Appealing strawberry and mineral scents are encased in a firm structure with a dry and spicy quality in the palate. This wine is incredibly versatile – perfect with just about any fish, fried food, or do like I do and enjoy it on it’s own.

There’s a consistency to Pierre Sparr wines that consumers just know they can count on throughout the entire portfolio. The wines deliver aromatics, elegance, clean fruit and are packed with vibrancy. They also happen to be extremely food-friendly, especially in the past few vintages where yields were down but quality rose to an all-time high. This is a bone-dry beauty with layers of citrus fruits, framed by wet stone and mineral character that adds dimension.
