Philosophy
French for truth, the wines of Vérité result from a confluence of old world experience and
new world fruit. Each is an amalgam of distinct components harvested from small vineyard
blocks (micro-crus), resulting in a carefully considered convergence of grape varieties, climate,
soil exposition and winemaking technique. Vigneron Pierre Seillan refers to this conjunction
as droit du sol, “right of the soil.”

Tasting Notes
Cabernet Franc is the star in this wine. The bouquet is complex and spiced, the color dense
and rich. In the mouth, the balance is perfect with a high center of gravity and a long finish.
A grand vin of the world.
