Event Description
This is the most incredible opportunity to taste some of Spain’s finest wines. Whether you’re a dedicated wine enthusiast or simply want to learn a bit more about fine wine, this particular fine wine tasting - especially dedicated to the French wine region that is the Rhone Valley - offers a truly unique experience.
The Rhone Valley is a large, viticultural region that is continually gaining in popularity. In fact, it’s the second biggest appellation in France. Only Bordeaux has more vineyards. There are more than 71,000 hectares of vines planted in the Rhone Valley today. There are now more than 23 different appellations in the Southern Rhone and there are 8 appellations in the Northern Rhone Valley ... but only the BEST will make it to this very special tasting!
Get ready to impress your tastebuds as I shall present 6 fine wines from the Northern and Southern areas of the Rhone Valley.
So reserve a seat at my exclusive tasting (as it is limited to 13 guests) and enjoy the following award-winning and truly remarkable wines from the very best producers and vintages (ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN AWARDED AT LEAST 93 POINTS FROM ROBERT PARKER):
- Cote Rotie - Les Vins de Vienne, 'Les Essartailles' 2018 (100% Syrah) - 94 pts
- Condrieu - Maison Delas Freres, 'Clos Boucher' 2018 (100% Viognier) from THE infamous Delas winery - 94 pts

Each cuvée from the Arcane series by Xavier Vignon (the last 3 wines, above) is the expression of a vintage, un grape variety or a terroir. These cuvées are available only once, then disappear and are replaced by new arcanes coming from other blends and terroirs. In 2009, Xavier wins a tender with his 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape in Sweden and is shortly after elected «Best Châteauneuf du Pape in Sweden» by the famous wine magazine Varlens Vinder. Robert Parker hears about this and visits Xavier to try his cuvées. All of them are rated 93 points and up!
Served with a selection of cheeses and cold meats to enhance the wine's flavours and create a truly memorable experience.
