Wine Spectator
"A blend of two parcels, one with granite soil, the other with rolled pebbles, this cuvée delivers a dazzling crozes, opening with complex aromas of bigarreau, graphite and licorice. Fine, tight tannins frame an immaculate palate, imbued with the fullness of ripe, pulpy fruit, and preserving a mineral elegance and beautiful sapid tension. The finish, finely toasted and camphorated, is a brilliant addition to this top-flight red, which will be further refined in the cellar". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

About the wine:
A blend of two parcels, one with granite soil, the other with rolled pebbles, this cuvée delivers a dazzling crozes, opening with complex aromas of bigarreau, graphite and licorice. Fine, tight tannins frame an immaculate palate, imbued with the fullness of ripe, pulpy fruit, and preserving a mineral elegance and beautiful sapid tension. The finish, finely roasted and camphorated, is a brilliant addition to this high-flying red, which will mature further in the cellar.
About the domain :
To revive the vineyards of Seyssuel, upstream from Vienne, 3 renowned winemakers, Yves Cuilleron, Pierre Gaillard and François Villard, created this business in 1996, producing fine IGP estate wines in Seyssuel, parcel selections in northern AOCs and wines for the whole valley.

About the domain :
The trio of Villard, Cuilleron and Gaillard began the Vins de Vienne adventure in the late 1990s. Initially, the idea was to breathe new life into the superb, forgotten terroirs of Seyssuel, one of the Rhône Valley's first vineyards: of the 16 hectares of vines, 11 were planted between 1996 and 2001. Over the years, the range has expanded with the purchase of new grapes. While the wines from the Seyssuel terroirs remain admirable and are the hallmark of the domaine, the other cuvées are less convincing, leading us to withdraw the star from the domaine this year.
