Caves Yves Cuilleron
Yves Cuilleron is described by Wine Spectator as the leader of Condrieu's new generation of winemakers. Yves represents the 4th generation of Cuilleron vignerons although he initially trained as a engineer. The lure of the vine proved too hard to resist and after a year's training at the Ecole Viticole in Macon he took over the vineyards in 1987. Since then he has built an entirely new winery at Chavany facility while at the same time he acquired additional vineyard property. The domaine now produces about 50 000 bottles annually divided between the appellations of St. Joseph Blanc St. Joseph Rouge Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu.
Description
A delicious Syrah from Cuilleron in 2022, from a top vineyard outside of the crus, and offering excellent value to style. A testament to Yves’s blueprint knowledge of the region. This bottling showcases all the points of difference in Northern Rhone Syrah - red and black fruit, florals and gentle spice. Irresistible.
Food Pairing
Charcuterie or barbecued meats.
