Arcane IX L'Ermite 2016, 75cl

Gigondas AOC

Xavier Vignon

2016 was a wonderful vintage in Gigondas, especially in the high altitude sites where the sun levels were ideal for producing small yields of perfectly concentrated juice. Small barrels of the blend (80% Grenache; 7% Mourvèdre; 5% Syrah; 4% Muscardin; 4% Picpoul Noir) from these specially selected plots were then placed in Gigondas’ large concrete tanks, ensuring that the Grenache in particular maintains the absolute purity of the fruit. Unconventional, perhaps; exciting and with magnificent results, definitely.
