The culmination of a long project from Xavier Vignon : the champagne blending style taken to its limits! Various vintages from the most outstanding of recent years grown in 10 different terroirs in the southern Rhône Valley: including Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rasteau, Ventoux and high altitude parcels in Côtes du Rhône Villages.
96/100 - JEB DUNNUCK"The NV Vin de France Arcane Le Fou is another unique wine from this incredible winemaker. This cuvée focuses on different clones of Grenache as well as just about every permitted variety out there (although it’s 85% Grenache). It has a big, sweet nose of blueberries, black cherries, lavender, and peppery incense as well as a full-bodied, layered, powerful yet seamless style on the palate. With no hard edges, silky tannins, and a big finish, it’s a singular wine (it’s mostly from vines in Châteauneuf-Du-Pape) to enjoy over the coming 10-15 years"
Xavier Vignon是一位有遠見的創造者和葡萄酒釀酒師，對和諧與創造力懷有深深的熱情。他在法國上法蘭西大區長大，相信和諧是自然慷慨與人性的結晶。Xavier與一位釀酒師的邂逅改變了他的人生軌跡，讓他追尋葡萄酒釀造成為他真正的使命。憑借在法國香槟區、澳大利亞等地的豐富經驗和學習，Xavier積累了廣泛的知識和專業技能。
Xavier Vignon的葡萄酒釀酒理念圍繞著尊重自然和支持葡萄藤，而非主導它們。他致力於生產有機葡萄酒，並探索礦物質對葡萄酒風味的影響。創新是Xavier方法的重要組成部分。他不斷尋求陳釀葡萄酒的新方法，如開創性的Vinarium®技術。該方法涉及將葡萄酒桶浸入定制容器中，創造一個高濕度且無氧暴露的獨特陳釀環境。通過在這個受控環境中精心呵護葡萄酒，Xavier旨在保留和增強其香氣的多樣性。Xavier Vignon對於自然、創新和有機釀造的強調，產生了體現他的熱情和執著的卓越葡萄酒。
這是Xavier Vignon長期項目的巔峰之作：將香檳混釀風格推至極限！這款葡萄酒來自南隆河谷10個不同的產區，包括尚泰納夫杜巴、拉斯托、旺圖和科特隆河村的高海拔地塊，收集了近年來最優秀的不同年份。
96/100 - JEB DUNNUCK：
「NV Vin de France Arcane Le Fou 是這位令人難以置信的釀酒師的又一款獨特葡萄酒。這款釀酒著重於使用不同的Grenache葡萄品種以及幾乎所有允許的品種（儘管它85%是Grenache）。它散發著藍莓、黑櫻桃、薰衣草和辣椒熏香的濃郁甜美香氣，口感飽滿、層次豐富、強而有力卻又無縫。沒有硬邊，絲滑的單寧和悠長的收結，這是一款獨特的葡萄酒（主要來自尚泰納夫杜巴的葡萄藤），可在未來的10-15年間享用。」
