"Although this is a self-confidently rich and fleshy Cairanne, it also has a very well-crafted structure, the gentle tannins keeping the 15% alcohol on track. I love the dark, earthy finish that pulls you back to the glass for more. Drink or hold."

"Black cherries and plums appear alongside hints of cedar and leather on the nose of the NV Cairanne Arcane La Temperance. It's full-bodied (labeled at 15% alcohol), yet not overly heavy, with silky tannins, peppery notes and even some brighter, raspber- ry-like nuances on the lingering finish. Given its structure and con- centration, it should drink well for at least 4-5 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。

這款多年份的葡萄酒是Xavier Vignon廣泛項目的一部分，旨在通過新的釀造和陳年方法來保留葡萄酒的純淨度。

93/100 - JAMES SUCKLING：
「儘管這是一款自信豐滿的凱拉尼葡萄酒，它也具有非常精心打造的結構，溫和的單寧使15%的酒精保持平衡。我喜歡那深沉、土壤的收結，讓人再次回到杯中。可即飲或陳年。」

92/100 - PARKER：
「黑櫻桃和李子的香氣中帶有雪松和皮革的微妙提示，這是NV Cairanne Arcane La Temperance的特點。它具有飽滿的酒體（標明15％的酒精），但並不過於沉重，單寧絲滑，辣椒味道和一些明亮、覆盆子般的細微 nuance 在持久的收結中展現出來。考慮到它的結構和濃度，至少可以陳年4-5年。」
