About the estate:
To revive the Seyssuel vineyards located upstream from Vienne, three renowned winemakers—Yves Cuilleron, Pierre Gaillard, and François Villard—founded this company in 1996. It produces fine estate wines with IGP designation in Seyssuel, single-vineyard selections from northern AOCs, and merchant wines from throughout the valley.

About the estate:
The trio of Villard, Cuilleron, and Gaillard launched the Vins de Vienne venture in the late 1990s. Initially, the goal was to breathe new life into the superb, forgotten terroirs of Seyssuel, one of the Rhône Valley’s earliest vineyards: of the 16 hectares of vineyards, 11 were planted there between 1996 and 2001. Over the years, the range has expanded through the purchase of grapes. While the wines from the Seyssuel terroirs remain admirable and define the estate, the other vintages seem less convincing to us, leading us to remove the star from the estate this year.
