Xavier Vignon - Arcane Le Fou
96/100
Jeb Dunnuck
"The culmination of a long-standing project by Xavier Vignon"
"Vin de France Arcane Le Fou is another unique wine from this incredible winemaker. This cuvée focuses on different Grenache clones as well as just about every authorized grape variety (although it is 85% Grenache). It has a powerful, sweet nose of blueberry, black cherry, lavender, and peppery incense, as well as a full-bodied, structured, powerful but consistent palate. Smooth, with silky tannins and a long finish, this is a unique wine (mostly from vines in Châteauneuf Du Pape). (Jeb Dunnuck)
