"This surprising blend of four vintages (2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018) produces a rich, spicy wine that is full-bodied, long, and full of vitality. The whole is perfectly mature, generous, and fragrant, ready to drink. Intense length. " (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve). With Cairanne Arcane La Tempérance, Xavier Vignon wanted to preserve the purity of the wine using innovative vinification and aging methods.

About wine:
Black cherries and plums mingle with notes of cedar and leather on the nose in this Cairanne Arcane La Tempérance. It is full-bodied but not overly heavy, with silky tannins, peppery notes, and even more vivid nuances reminiscent of raspberries on the lingering finish. Given its structure and concentration, it should be enjoyable to drink for 4 to 5 years. Given its structure and concentration, it should be enjoyable to drink for 4 to 5 years.

About wine:
Although this is a rich and full-bodied Cairanne, it also has a very well-crafted structure, with silky tannins that balance the 15% alcohol content. I appreciate the dark, earthy finish that invites you to pour another glass.

As always with X. Vignon, we know that these vintages are among the very best. Beautiful notes of red fruit.
