Established in 1998 by visionary winemaker Pierre Seillan, Vérité is a highly acclaimed Californian estate located in Sonoma County. Renowned for its meticulous craftsmanship and terroir-driven philosophy, Vérité specializes in producing Bordeaux-style blends that exhibit exceptional depth, elegance and complexity. ‘La Joie’ is generally dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with a varying proportion of Merlot and occasionally other Bordeaux varietals such as Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The absence of significant heat spikes in 2018 and a generally favourable weather pattern contributed to the production of high-quality wines across various regions in California.
The 2018 La Joie exudes class from the very first taste. Firm underpinnings of structure provide a gorgeous framework that wraps around a core of intense dark fruit. Lavender, sage, mint and grilled herb accents exalt the aromatic intensity of Cabernet Sauvignon. - Antonio Galloni

Verite

A true visionary, Jess Jackson’s lengthy career, which spanned more than 30 years, was driven by a passion for producing extraordinary wine from California’s best vineyards. Jackson had longed to create a wine that would be just as good as the world’s best wines and was confident that the terroir in Sonoma County had that potential. Teaming up with Bordeaux winemaker Pierre Seillan, the duo created Vérité - a project with the aim of making some of the world's greatest Cabernet Sauvignon. 

As Pierre approaches retirement, the reins are being passed to his daughter Hélène Seillan, who grew up in Sonoma County and Saint-Émilion, studying Viticulture and Oneology at the Institut Rural de Vayres in Bordeaux. Hélène is set to build on the work of her father and Jess Jackson - crafting Bordeaux-inspired Cabernet with poise and precision.
