Part of Xavier Vignon's enigmatic Tarot-inspired Arcane series, 'La Fortune' (The Wheel of Fortune) celebrates the cyclical beauty of nature and the element of chance in winemaking. This cuvée is a profound exploration of old-vine Grenache, sourced from a mosaic of exceptional Southern Rhône terroirs, including high-altitude parcels that impart a striking freshness. Vignon's scientific precision shines through his meticulous parcel selection and gentle extraction methods, resulting in a wine that balances intense dark fruit, wild garrigue herbs, and velvety tannins. It stands as a testament to the resilience of ancient vines and the art of modern blending.
