Vérité produces wines without compromise which reflect the terroir in which they are grown. The name comes from the French word for “truth.” Today Vérité produce some of the world’s most sought after wines.
Vérité’s vigneron, Pierre Seillan, is intimately involved in every step of the wine-making process from bud break to bottling. Since the winery’s founding in 1998, he has identified more than 40 microcrus across Vérité’s four appellations on the western slopes of Sonoma’s Mayacamas Mountains. These “small vineyards within vineyards” have a diverse palette of soil types. The grapes are tended by hand to ensure the highest quality of fruit and extremely low yields.In each vintage, the winery releases three Bordeaux-inspired blends: La Muse (Merlot-based), La Joie (Cabernet Sauvignon-based) and Le Désir (Cabernet Franc-based). While all three wines are impeccably balanced and sumptuously textured in their youth, they have the weight and foundation to age for many years.
