Pale gold. High-pitched aromas of ripe citrus and orchard fruits, quinine, mint and chalky minerals, with a sexy floral quality emerging with aeration. Sappy and focused on the palate, offering mineral-accented Meyer lemon and bitter pear skin flavors plus a hint of fennel. Refreshingly bitter and taut on the extremely long finish, which clings with excellent tenacity and hints of violet and ginger.

Distillery Information

Domaine Yves Cuilleron (also known as Cave Yves Cuilleron) is a well-regarded wine producer in the northern Rhône, making red and white wines predominantly from Syrah and Viognier, respectively. The domaine has been in the Cuilleron family for three generations, but it is the domaine’s current owner and winemaker, Yves Cuilleron, who has expanded the size, scope, and scale of the estate’s vineyard holdings and its winery. Estate holdings were a mere 3.5 hectares (8.6 acres) in Condrieu and Saint-Joseph before Cuilleron took over in 1987. The estate now runs to 75 hectares (185 acres) of vineyard land across the additional appellations of Côte Rôtie, Crozes-Hermitage, Cornas and Saint-Péray as well as the lcal IGP title, IGP Collines Rhodaniennes. These vineyards are planted to Syrah, Marsanne, Roussanne, and Viognier. Cuilleron’s key wines come from the Côte Rôtie and Condrieu appellations, although numerous cuvée names have come and gone over the years.
