    In a few words ...

    The backbone of this cuvée is purity. The aim is to preserve the fruit throughout the wine's life, without influencing it by aging in traditional methods (wood, concrete, etc.). Vinification and ageing take place partly in Wine Globes, small 200-liter glass containers. This cuvée is part of Xavier Vignon's more general project to preserve the purity of wine through innovative vinification and ageing methods. Blend of vintages: 2015 - 2016 - 2017 and 2018 (1/4 each).

    Black cherries and plums appear alongside notes of cedar and leather on the nose of Cairanne Arcane La Temperance. It's full-bodied (15% alcohol), but not too heavy, with silky tannins, peppery notes and even brighter raspberry nuances on the lingering finish. Given its structure and concentration, it should keep for at least 4-5 years.

    Delighted to discover Xavier Vignon's new Arcane. Well-balanced, with grapes from the Cairanne terroirs. Fruity, not too woody. A true Xavier style!

    Beautiful blend of 4 vintages, 2015 to 2018, from the Cairanne appellation. A supple, fruity, balanced wine. It's a pleasure to serve. It can also be forgotten for a few years in the cellar...
