It’s extremely rare to come across a Rhône red boasting a 96-point score and praise from one of the world’s preeminent critics, but that’s what we have in Xavier Vignon’s Arcane le Fou. A Châteauneuf-style red grown in the appellation’s five greatest vintages of the last ten years—2010, 2012, 2015, 2016, and 2017—it’s a wildly aromatic, darkly concentrated 96-point collectible.
A dense midnight-purple color. Robust aromas of blueberry, blackberry, peppercorn, lavender, and dried herbs open to reveal notes of smoke, toast, and a touch of vanilla. Massively powerful, with muscular and jammy black- and blue-fruit flavors plus complex flourishes of savory spice and earth. Laden with silken tannins, the concentrated palate carries the wine through to an extended finish. A vin de France in the tradition of the best garagiste wines. Drink now–2031.
