Xavier Vignon, Xavier, AOP, Cairanne, Red
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.
Presentation
Xavier is a great enthusiast of blending and is always on the lookout for terroirs with potential as he works with creative freedom to produce top wines. The result? A collection of wines adding a modern touch to the pure essence of Rhône wines, each one meticulously created with quality fruit collected from carefully-chosen vines: L'Etoile is a multi-vintage blend from 2015-2016-2017 revealing the complexity and freshness of the high altitude of the Beaumes-de-Venise terroirs.
