Hedonism Meets... Pierre Seillan

|Hedonism Wines
Pierre Seillan at Verite

Hedonism Wines were fortunate enough to sit down for a Q and A with vigneron Pierre Seillan, who has been responsible for crafting the wines at internationally-renowned Vérité since 1998. A self-described ‘servant of the soil’, Pierre Seillan’s passion lies in crafting wines from diverse terroirs, using the same philosophy to capture the unique expressions of each vintage and terroir. Representing the diversity of California’s Sonoma County, and inspired by the great wines of Bordeaux, founder Jess Jackson has worked with Pierre Seillan to create Vérité’s three distinctive blends: La Muse, La Joie and Le Désir.

Vérité was founded in 1997 by the late visionary Jess Jackson and long-time Bordeaux vigneron, Pierre Seillan. In just over 20 years, the winery has managed to forge a reputation for itself as one of the most consistent producers of elite level fine wine in California. They produce just three wines, La Muse, La Joie and Le Désir, all of which are based on the traditional varieties of Bordeaux.

La Muse is an ode to Merlot and is inspired by the rich and powerful, yet incredibly refined wines of Pomerol. The 2015 release is once again sensational and continues a stunning run of form for this cuvée. It is a deep, complex and texturally expansive blend of 87% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec.

Vérité was founded in 1997 by the late visionary Jess Jackson and long-time Bordeaux vigneron, Pierre Seillan. In just over 20 years, the winery has managed to forge a reputation for itself as one of the most consistent producers of elite level fine wine from Sonoma County, California. They produce just three wines - La Muse, La Joie and Le Désir - all of which are based on the traditional varieties of Bordeaux.

Le Désir was first produced in the year 2000 and is an homage to the fragrant and opulent wines of St-Émilion. 2013 was a vintage where all the stars aligned for Vérité and they produced a simply astonishing trio of wines. Le Désir is perhaps the softest of the three but remains an incredibly powerful yet elegant wine with huge potential longevity.

La Joie is made in the mould of the great wines of Pauillac and the Left Bank. From the cooler 2011 vintage, this is a fresh and perfectly poised blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec.
