Union Sacré Wines
In 1996, Xavier Arnaudin worked his first harvest. He left the Rhône for California in 1999, and in 2003 he met designer Philip Muzzy, the friend who would become his partner. By 2013, while working at Sans Liege, they were daydreaming between barrels about making dry Riesling, and in 2014 Xavier made wine for Philip’s wedding, a spark that pushed them to start Union Sacré.
Xavier built a cellar in Paso Robles’ Tin City in 2018, the tasting room opened in 2019, then closed in 2020. The winery grew through its largest harvest in 2022 and brought red concrete tanks into the cellar in 2023. Today, with Xavier at the helm for his 30th harvest in 2026, Union Sacré focuses on dry, Alsace‑inspired, single‑vineyard wines from California’s Central Coast, crafted for the table and for everyday joy.
