“This remarkable blend of four vintages (2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018) produces a full-bodied, rich, spicy wine with a long finish and plenty of vitality. The wine is perfectly ripe, generous, and aromatic, and ready to drink. Intense length. ” (The Bettane + Desseauve Guide).

About the 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 livelier hints of raspberry on the lingering finish. Given its structure and concentration, it should be enjoyable to drink for 4 to 5 years.

About the wine:
Although this is a rich, full-bodied Cairanne, it also has a very well-defined structure, with silky tannins that balance out the 15% alcohol content. I appreciate the dark, earthy finish that leaves you wanting more.

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