The wine
Arcane le Fou by winemaker Xavier vignon is a blend of 5 vintages among the most popular in recent years, expressed around 10 terroirs in the southern Rhone Valley, including Châteauneuf du Pape, Rasteau, Ventoux, as well as altitude plots in Côtes du Rhône Village, etc. The wine is made from 85% Grenache, 5% Mourvèdre, 5% Syrah, 5% Caladoc to add spices and complete the structure.
With its beautiful deep garnet color, the wine reveals notes of blueberry, black cherry, lavender, and spicy incense on the nose. The palate is powerful and smooth on the palate with silky tannins to finish in a pleasant length.
