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 permitted grape variety (although it's 85% Grenache). It has a powerful, sweet nose of blueberry, black cherry, lavender and peppery incense, as well as a full-bodied, structured, powerful yet homogeneous palate. With no rough edges, silky tannins and a great finish, this is a singular wine (it's mostly from Châteauneuf Du Pape vineyards)." (Jeb Dunnuck)
