More about this wine
More about this wine
Each cuvée from the Arcane serie is the expression of a vintage, a varietal or a terroir.
These cuvées are only available once before they disappear to make room for new arcanes made from different blends and terroirs.
50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 20% Mourvèdre Grenache grapes make up the majority of the blend but the expression of the Cinsault style is what’s most strongly emphasized.
Terroir
Blend from various terroirs of the Southern Rhone valley : Trias soils, limestone scree, clay and marl soils.
Winemaking
Enrichment of the wort with solid quantities of Cinsault without adding the liquid volume.
Grenache bleeding was used to bring in the juice without any substance.
Ageing
Large part aged in Wine Globe which allows the wine to be matured in small and separate volumes in order to preserve the purity of the fruit.
Can age until 2030.

Xavier Vignon
Xavier Vignon inherited from his parents’ two fundamental values: the love for a job well done and the capacity to transmit knowledge.
His in-depth knowledge of the Rhône Valley (34 harvests as an oenologist worldwide), his mentors, all the vintners he has been working with and his incredible memory have been forging his style and identity: Terroir driven, fruity and complex wines supported by freshness and minerality.
Xavier has been consulting for the very best wineries all his life and now dedicates his talent to his own creations.
