Xavier Vignon, Xavier, AOP Rasteau, 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
The village of Rasteau is located on the summit of a hill at an altitude of 200m, facing south and looking at the Dentelles de Montmirail. The vineyard is relatively sheltered from the mistral, and the soil is a blend of clay limestone, marl and sandstone.
Winemaking
Fermentation at low temperature with prefermentary maceration for gentle extraction of tannins. Co-fermentation of different grapes varieties for greater aromatic complexity.
