The story

Xavier inherited from his parents two fundamental values: the love for a job well done and the capacity to transmit knowledge. His in-depth knowledge, his mentors, all the vintners have 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. Each cuvee under the Arcane series is the solo expression of a vintage, a grape or a terroir.

Vinification

Determination of harvest dates by daily tasting of the berries combined with polyphenols analysis. Manual harvesting. Fermentation at moderate temperature to favor the soft diffusion of flavour compounds. Four weeks maceration. 80% ageing in concrete tanks to favour the fruit purity and the grape expression, 20% ageing in stockinger barrel for 12 months. Cofermentation of the grapes for more aromatic complexity
