Southern Rhône, Xavier Vignon, Arcane Xix Le Soleil, Aoc Côtes Du Rhône Villages, Rouge
Xavier Vignon is one of the top consultant winemakers in the south of France. He used to be a master Champagne blender (so he knows a thing or two about constructing wines) but now lives in the Rhône Valley from where he visits around 300 estates to advise them on viticulture and vinification. At the end of each year, as he hands over his bill, he offers some of his employers to exchange it for barrels to make his own blends - well, that’s more or less how it works!
Presentation
The blend is made up mainly of old Grenache with very limited yields (the equivalent of one bottle per vine stock), Mourvèdre over eighty years old and Syrah fifty years old. The vines face east, on the cool terroirs of northern Vaucluse.
Winemaking
Manual harvest. Long maceration without mechanical extraction.
