"Grown on steeper slopes, the 2016 Gigondas Arcane L'Hermite is a blend of 80% Grenache, 7% Mourvèdre, and the remainder Syrah, Muscardin, and Picpoul Noir, which was aged in submerged barrels. It’s another beautiful wine from Xavier, full of blackberries, spices, dried herbes de Provence, and loamy soil. It’s elegant, fluid, and silky, with lovely purity.” (Jeb Dunnuck)

About the wine:
Made from steeper slopes, the 2016 Gigondas Arcane L'Hermite is composed of 80% Grenache, 7% Mourvèdre, and the remainder Syrah, Muscardin, and Picpoul Noir, aged in submerged barrels. This is yet another beautiful wine from Xavier, full of blackberries, spices, dried Provençal herbs, and loamy soil. It is elegant, fluid, and silky, with a lovely purity.

Much more complex the next day. It's the best with an andouillette.
