Cuilleron’s management of Viognier is always impressive. Pale lemon-gold in colour, the nose is classic Condrieu, peaches, apricots and cream, with a yoghurty, generous richness. The palate, while showing all the same succulence, has impressive mineral and acid cut to add both structure and freshness. The result is a wine of depth, length and finesse, no easy feat in this region, finishing with a moreish lick of wood spice. No need to wait here, these wines are almost always at their best when young.

Producer Information

Domaine Yves Cuilleron is a 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.
