I thought it was Gre 25%, Mou 25%, Syr 25% and so on, but when I have search on the net I found one website that says the grapes are Muscardin, Cinsault, Vaccarèse, Syrah, Terret Noir, Picpoul, Mourvedre, Monastrell, Garnacha, Grenache, Counoise and Clairette.
I Don't know if this is correct, but's probably is a blend on typical Châteauneuf-du-pape-grapes.

I found this on the webbside The Winecellar inside:
"Xavier Vins Anonyme made its debut with the 2007 vintage. The blend can vary from vintage to vintage as the grapes are sourced from more than different parcels scattered among the appellation. For example, in 2010, the wine was produced using mostly old vine Grenache from vines that were more than 100 years of age, along with a percentage of other, allowable grape varieties.
In other vintages, Xavier Vins Anonyme was produced from blending about 25% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 25% Syrah and 25% Counoise. In other vintages, while dominated by Grenache, the blend can include all 13 allowable grape varieties. Xavier Vins Anonyme is aged in a combination of concrete vats and French oak barrels of various sizes and shapes."
So it seems like your right, that the 2010 vintage mostly is made of Grenache!
Yes, it's a great wine. Have tasted it many times with friends, and also once with Xavier Vignon himself in Beaumes de Venise. Very nice and friendly man who spent a couple of hours an Friday afternoon with us.
