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
A wine of great intensity with notes of black fruits, well balanced, with a long finish of
mature tannins and elegant oak. The bouquet and the palate will continue to develop over
the next 5-10 years.
