Description
 
The Barbarian vineyard was born in 2000 on the shores of the Sea of Marmara in the region of Thrace. Organic and biodynamic since its origins, the 25 hectare estate thrives in a climate conducive to the cultivation of vines. The name Barbarian pays homage to the nearby village of Barbaros. Xavier Vignon was committed from the very beginnings of the domain in close collaboration with Can Topsakal its founder. As a friend and consultant oenologist, Xavier still goes to the site several times a year to accompany the teams throughout the stages of the vineyard and the wine. The XL Premier cuvée is the fruit of this common work. A Châteauneuf du Pape style ... in Turkey

Xavier Vignon is one of the top oenologists in the Southern Rhône and releases a bevy of outstanding wines under his own label. While outside this report, I was able to taste the 2012 Barbare XL Premier with winemaker Xavier Vignon and it’s a wine that’s well worth seeking out. A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre from clay soils along the Mediterranean Sea in Turkey, it boasts a stunning bouquet of blackberries, leather, spice box, cedar, and flowers. Complex and medium-bodied, with an elegant, seamless texture and fine tannins, it’s a remarkable wine that will keep for 8-10 years. Drink 2019-2029. Jeb Dunnuck 94
