Deep and complex wine. Nose where black fruits rub shoulders with spices, nuances of toasted almonds, sweet flowers and liquorice. The palate is elegant and slender but concentrated. The touch on the palate is velvety, and the tannins deep. A final graphite on the purity of the shale terroir.

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.
