Les Vins de Vienne
Vallée du Rhône | France
Les Vins de Vienne is a winery founded in 1996 by three winemakers and friends from the Rhône Valley: Yves Cuilleron, Pierre Gaillard, and François Villard. Their project began with the replanting of the historic vineyard of **Seyssuel**, which had disappeared after the phylloxera epidemic, producing their first vintage in 1998. The estate has since expanded to 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 wines under the IGP Collines Rhodaniennes designation. The dominant grape varieties include Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne, complemented by other varieties depending on the terroir. Vins de Vienne markets its wines, produced and vinified in Chavanay, and offers a tasting room accessible by appointment or during the posted hours.
The project is built around the shared passion of the three founders for the Rhône Valley terroir, blending their personal experience of vines and wine to create a range of wines reflecting the diverse styles and terroirs of the Rhône Valley.
