Aged 15 months in 100% new french Oak

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
Intense, deep inky color. Already expressing an aroma that is well integrated, silky and
refined but powerful. On the palate, an immediate explosion of complexity, where the
Cabernet Franc shows its personality, its signature, its finesse, with power that makes the
finish infinitely long. Very ripe currants, blackberry, plum, anise, licorice, white spice and
discreet oak. A magnificent borrle.
