The magnificent slopes of Seyssuel triggered the desire to craft very great wines and only recently did a few winegrowers, who had seen the exceptional value of the terroir, decide to combine their skills and revive this vineyard.
 
Louis Chèze, Laurent and Pascal Marthouret, Georges Treynard, winegrowers at heart attached  to the land, decided to pool their skills and their common passion to carry out this project as one structure: Les Vignobles de Seyssuel.
This association of four talents continues to this day with several wines produced on the hillsides of the Vignobles de Seyssuel: Sixtus White, Sixtus Red and Saxeolum.
