"This astonishing blend of four vintages (2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018) produces a fat, rich, spicy wine, long and full of sap. The whole is perfectly mature, generous and fragrant, ready to drink. Intense length." (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve). With Cairanne Arcane La Tempérance, Xavier Vignon has sought to preserve the purity of the wine through innovative vinification and ageing methods.

About the wine:
Black cherries and plums rub shoulders with cedar and leather cedar and leather on the nose in this Cairanne Arcane La Tempérance. It's full-bodied, but not too heavy, with silky tannins, peppery notes and more more lively raspberry nuances on the lingering finish. Given its structure and concentration, it should drink well for 4-5 years.

About the wine:
Although this is a rich, fleshy Cairanne, it also has a very well-crafted structure, with silky tannins bringing balance to the 15% alcohol. I like the dark, earthy finish, which calls for a refill.

As always with X.Vignon, we know we're on the verge of greatness with these cuvées, with their lovely red fruit notes.
