Vintages New Release Collection – November 22, 2025

XAVIER ARCANE XV LE DIABLE 2015 Vin de France Xavier Vignon is a daring and innovative wine maker. The Mourvèdre for this Vin de France was sourced from various sites in the southern Rhône (hence no AOC), including vineyards in the legendary Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Perfect for someone who defies labelling. 94 points (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com) Full-bodied & Smooth 526301 (XD) 750 ml $39.95 2 CHÂTEAU BEAU-SITE 2018 AOC Saint-Estèphe, Bordeaux, France (Héritiers Castéja, prop.) Bordeaux’s 2018 vintage was the hottest and driest in 50 years. Saint-Estèphe’s high per centage of water-retaining clay soils allowed the season’s ripe, powerful wines to retain their balance. Gift this to someone whose quality always shines through. 94 points (jamessuckling.com) Full-bodied & Firm 647933 (XD) 750 ml $52.95 2 TRIACCA LA MADONNINA GRAN SELEZIONE CHIANTI CLASSICO 2019 DOCG, Tuscany, Italy Gran Selezione are aged for a minimum of 30 months and represent Chianti Classico’s finest expressions. Wines that speak to the nobility and tradition of Chianti, they’re a great way to celebrate someone who’s a cut above. 94 points (lucamaroni.com) Full-bodied & Smooth 19755 (XD) 750 ml $38.95 2
