Les Vins de Vienne
Rhône Valley | France
Les Vins de Vienne is a wine house founded in 1996 by the association of three winemaker friends from the Rhône Valley: Yves Cuilleron, Pierre Gaillard, and François Villard. Their project began with the replanting of the historic **Seyssuel** vineyard, which had disappeared after phylloxera, to produce a first vintage in 1998. The estate was then expanded across various northern terroirs of the Rhône Valley.
The company cultivates approximately 20 to 28 hectares of vines spread across several important appellations (Côte Rôtie, Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray, Cornas, Crozes-Hermitage, Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, etc.) and also produces IGP wines from the Collines Rhodaniennes. Dominant grape varieties include Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne, complemented by other varieties depending on the terroirs. Les Vins de Vienne markets its wines, produced and vinified in Chavanay, and offers a tasting cellar accessible by appointment or during specified hours.
The project is built around the three founders' shared passion for the Rhône terroir, combining their personal experience in viticulture and winemaking to create a range of wines reflecting the varied styles and terroirs of the Rhône Valley.
