Only quality pays off; you must live up to expectations. You need to outdo yourself every time.
Created in 1972, the Alain Paret estate is located at the heart of the Rhône Valley. There, he planted the Syrah and Viognier grapes typical of the region's production. Over the years, he perfected his working methods and succeeded in presenting high-quality products for all his wines.
The Maison A. Paret first started planting in Seyssuel in 1999 when Anthony Paret partnered with Laurent Dumont to participate in the rebirth of this vineyard.
Two red wines are produced there: Serinae distinctive in its blending of Serine and Viognier grapes in co-plantation, and Sublinae, single-varietal Serina. A white wine completes the collection: Vionnae, a single-varietal Viognier wine.
