Les Vins de Vienne is a special project by three great winemakers from the Rhône Valley: Yves Cuilleron, Pierre Gaillard and François Villard. They had already had their own vineyards for years when, in the 1990s, the close friends set their sights on the forgotten vineyard of Seyssuel, near the village of Vienne in the Northern Rhône. The rest is history...
Near Vienne, 25 kilometers from Lyon, on the banks of the river, close to famous Condrieu, the Rhône valley is at its narrowest - in places no more than 700 meters wide. The vineyards lie on steep slopes.
Pierre discovered that the vineyards of Vienne had already been lavishly praised in antiquity and the Middle Ages. It was hard to understand why they lay abandoned. François secretly took soil samples. All three quickly became convinced that the forgotten vineyards of Seyssuel could produce wines that would rank among the top of the Rhône.
The project became a great success - so great that several winemakers in the area, with the finest vineyards in the Rhône Valley, entered into collaboration with the three friends. Together they bring out the tremendous potential of their vineyards as beautifully as possible in the wine. For each plot the best grape is chosen. Through vigorous pruning, yields are kept low, resulting in high-quality grape juice.
The wines of Vins de Vienne are true 'terroir wines', in short, which goes hand in hand with nature-conscious farming: as few pesticides as possible, and little to no added yeast or sulfite. Respect for these special vineyards is what it's all about.
Les Vins de Vienne, in other words, does not choose the easiest path, but a route that leads to exclusive wines of very high quality. It has since become an impressive collection - from Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Condrieu to Crozes-Hermitage, Cornas and Saint-Joseph, each a top wine in its category. In the Netherlands they are poured in top hospitality venues and available only at a handful of specialist shops. We currently have three wines from Les Vins de Vienne in our range.
