Composed of 82% Cabernet Franc, 12% Merlot and 6% Malbec, the 2018 Le Désir was aged for 16 months in 100% new French oak. Deep garnet in colour, it’s a little closed to start but soon opens up to reveal hints of kirsch, raspberry plus hints of cedar, crushed stone, bay leaves, Sichuan pepper and lavender with a touch of sandalwood. The medium to full-bodied palate has plenty of freshness to support the melange of preserved red and black fruits, textured by grainy tannins, finishing with a lingering peppery kick.
This version is a magnum bottle of 1.5 liter in wooden box. A collectors item.
FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will often also receive a nice discount . You will see your discount immediately when you choose 'Pick up' on the checkout page. We are located in Dordrecht almost next to the A16 with plenty of parking. Click here for our address.

January 2021 Week 2, The Wine Advocate
The 2018 Le Désir was tasted as a final-blend barrel sample, due to be bottled in January 2021. Composed of 82% Cabernet Franc, 12% Merlot and 6% Malbec, it will have been aged for 16 months in 100% new French oak. Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose is a little shy to begin, offering subtle suggestions of red roses, lilacs and kirsch over a core of blackberry preserves, black raspberries and red currant jelly plus a touch of cinnamon stick. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is captivatingly elegant, featuring layer upon layer of floral and earth accents among the intense black and red fruits, finishing with fantastic length and almost electric tension. Stunning! 2,500 cases were made.

With more than 50 "micro-crus" spread over four appellations, Vigneron Pierre Seillan carefully crafts each Vérité blend. This mosaic of micro-crus gives Seillan the palette of aromatics, flavors, textures and structural elements he needs to make the wines of Vérité. Each micro-cru is individually harvested and fermented, then aged in French oak barrels with various custom toasts. Seillan carefully tailors his winemaking techniques and oak regimes to the personality of each plot, equipping it with hundreds of unique components that he can use to architecture from the final blends of La Muse, La Joie and Le Désir.
Like many high-end Napa wines, the Vérité has been distributed for years via the Neogciance in Bordeaux, where Grandcru wines can fortunately also buy and the run is always on the famous assortment box in which the La Muse, La Joie and Le Désir are packed in a very nice box. . Amazing wines that can go into the cellar for decades and have therefore also become investment objects.
