Description

Three bottles stored in my underground Victorian cellar. Full bodied Grenache-dominated red 'cult wine' from Southern Rhone grapes, mostly from Chateaneuf-de-Pape but designated Vin De France.

"Xavier Vignon was always a scientist at heart and began his studies in pharmacology in Reims in the Champagne region. He has created many different cuvees that defy the regional mould using multiple vintages and different terroirs to express something new and exciting. Le Fou is maybe one of his greatest achievements in his Arcane series. A blend of 5 vintages across 10 terroirs, primarily Châteanueuf, with Ventoux, Rasteau, and other Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages thrown in for good measure. It is a blend meant to express the diversity of Grenache's variations and clones but has small amounts of Mourvèdre, Syrah, and Caladoc for some added complexity. He calls it the "Champagne style taken to its limits!" This is a full and fleshy wine from one of the great winemakers in the Rhône."

Jeb Dunnock: 96/100
"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"
