I have placed a number of orders for wine with B‑21. Could not be happier with the process. Selection is very nice and comprehensive. I have called their support line re delivery of a pre‑order and was very pleased with their level of support in delivering wine around a time period when traveling and\or not available to take receipt. Overall, I extremely pleased.

2015 Xavier Vignon Arcane XIX Le Soleil (750ml)

Grenache from Côtes du Rhône, Rhône, France

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Regular readers of these pages are no stranger to the stunning wines being produced by Xavier Vignon, who has established a flawless reputation working with such luminaries as Marcoux, Grand Veneur, Raymond Usseglio, and others. Through these relationships, he has gained access to incredibly pristine parcels of very old-vine plantings across the valley, where he works with centenarian vines of Grenache and Syrah as well as 75- to 85-year-old plots of multiple other varieties.

Soleil is composed of 80% Grenache from 100-year-old vines, 10% Mourvèdre from 80-year-old vines, and 10% Syrah from 50-year-old vines, all which comes together to yield just one bottle per vine. Terroir selection is based on mineral salt concentration and density in vineyards from nine villages. Xavier is looking for freshness through both altitude and exposure, and it certainly seems he found it.

"Maybe the best Côte du Rhône Villages I've ever tasted..." - Wine Advocate

This beauty is a ridiculous bargain, and it just might be the best Côtes-du-Rhône Villages that you have ever tasted too. I have blind-tasted colleagues on this several times, just to break the monotony of the wines that they peddle, if I'm being honest, and their responses say it all. The aromatics alone sing Châteauneuf, specifically the serious terroir east of town, very La Cras-like. Of course I press them for a price range, and $40 to $50 is typically the consensus. They are basically spot on, as such a gorgeous wine should cost that much, but our domaine-direct relationship with Xavier brings it to us at a jaw-dropping, sub-$20 price for our private clients.

The 2015 Cotes du Rhone Villages Arcane XVIII Le Soleil is youthfully dark in color and fruit-forward, but it also shows softening, silky tannins. It's full bodied but not overblown, with a sensationally seductive mouthfeel. Black cherries define the fruit, joined by hints of dark chocolate and enough garrigue to give it a seriously savory character despite the fruit. This is an old-vine blend of 80% Grenache with 10% each Syrah and Mourvèdre, aged 15 months in one-third new oak, the rest in concrete or foudre. Maybe the best Côte du Rhône Villages I've ever tasted, it looks to have the stuffing to go another 10 years.

94 points, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate (Issue # 233 - Oct 2017)

Coming from 100-year-old Grenache vines (there’s 10% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre in the blend) mostly in the northern part of the Southern Rhône, the 2015 Côtes du Rhône Villages Arcane le Soleil saw 15 months in one-third each of new barrels, concrete tanks, and stainless-steel tanks. This inky colored beauty offers a terrific perfume of blueberries, scorched earth, graphite, and crushed violets. Deep, full-bodied, incredibly pure, and elegant, with silky tannin, it’s a sensational Côtes du Rhône that’s better than most Chateauneuf du Pape in the vintage. It will be better in another year or two and keep for 8-10 years.
