Palate Profile

This multi-vintage wine is part of the wider project of Xavier Vignon's of preserving the purity of the wine through new vinification and maturation methods.

The selection of plots and berries was made from two main terroirs of the appellation: to the north of the commune, on the Miocene hills (Montagne de Ventabren), the soils alternate between limestone pebbles and marl.

While in the south, the terraces of the garrigues are made up of stony alluvium and brown pebbles. This is the warmest terroir of the appellation.

Each case of 6 comes in this original wooden case!

Critic Awards

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, raspberry-like nuances on the lingering finish. Given its structure and concentration, it should drink well for at least 4-5 years
