94 Points The Wine Enthusiast

“This lovely, crisp wine is fermented in stainless steel. Herb, cedar and garrigue elements meet a juicy, sublime midapalate, finishing on highlights of lemon peel and cassis."

Our Thoughts on this wine....Light salmon to pink in color with a bright silver rim, this wine presents a complex nose of floral, tropical, and citrus notes. Beautiful aromas of fresh rose petals, lychee, passion fruit, blood orange and grapefruit are enrobed by hints of fresh almond. The lively yet balanced acidity lends a delicate mouth feel and long, fresh finish. This wine showcases the beauty of a Cabernet Franc Rose.

Hélène’and Pierre Seillan 

Pierre Seillan is best known as a winemaker whose Californian Bordeaux blends, particularly those marketed through the luxe Vérité label ($300-$500 per bottle), have earned multiple 100-point scores from Robert Parker.

Cenyth represents Hélène’s mentorship with her father, world-renowned winemaker Pierre Seillan of Verite fame has three decades of experience in Bordeaux under his belt, including stints in the Loire, Lalande-a-Pomerol and Saint Emilion, before coming to California in 1997. He blends his small micro-cuvées with a preconceived notion of how the wine should taste, ostensibly a Californian wine in a Bordeaux mould. Applying the knowledge and techniques she has observed and learned from her father over a lifetime, Hélène crafted the inaugural 2009 vintage of Cenyth, a Bordeaux- blend from mountain and hillside vineyards in Sonoma County.
As she continues on her path as winemaker, Hélène is using her experience in the vineyards of France and her passion for Sonoma County to define her own style. Through her old and new world experience, she has learned many lessons and important values, but perhaps none are as significant as the lessons she continues to learn from her father.

Hélène Seillan spent her childhood in both France and California, surrounded by family and friends for whom winemaking was as much a passion as it was a profession. Following in her father’s footsteps, Hélène pursued a career in winemaking and began splitting her time between Sonoma County and Saint-Émilion. Starting in 2006, she served as assistant winemaker for her father at the family’s Bordeaux estate, where she worked on all aspects of winery management showing the same talent, passion and ability as her father.

 Hélène holds a degree in Viticulture and Oenology from the Institut Rural de Vayres in Bordeaux. When she is not in the vineyards, Hélène likes to indulge her second passion for food and enjoys cooking for friends and family.
