Description
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.

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.
