Vins de Vienne
Founded in 1996 by three of the Northern Rhône's most respected winemakers — Yves Cuilleron, Pierre Gaillard and François Villard — Vins de Vienne began with a single mission: to bring the ancient, Roman-era vineyards of Seyssuel back to life. Long forgotten after phylloxera wiped them out, these steep schist hillsides once produced wines celebrated by Pliny the Elder. Today, the estate spans nearly 25 hectares across Seyssuel and other top Northern Rhône appellations — Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray, Crozes-Hermitage and Cornas — crafting Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne wines known for their precision, elegance and true sense of place.
