“The nose reveals notes of white peach and bergamot; the wine is aged in oak, but the wine retains a certain detachment from the wood. The overall impression is less heavy, and the wine expresses a certain freshness, while the terroir also gives it a long finish.” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2019 - RVF) Please note: limited quantities available!

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2019 guide) 16/20 (Very good wine)

Rated 3*Stars (A high-quality product that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Yves Cuilleron is the leading winemaker in the entire Northern Rhône, currently cultivating 65 hectares and producing about 20 wines, primarily from Saint-Joseph, Condrieu, and Côte Rôtie; only the Crozes is made from purchased grapes. Native yeasts and aging in oak (9 months for whites, 18 months for reds) define a style that is certainly oaky but one in which each terroir ultimately comes through. Starting with the 2015 vintage, each appellation offers a cuvée named after a specific vineyard parcel. One of the leading estates in the Rhône Valley.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

A leading producer in the northern valley, particularly known for its Condrieu wines. Based in Chavanay, Yves Cuilleron took over the estate in 1987—an estate founded in 1920 by his paternal grandfather and later managed by his uncle Antoine. He has gradually expanded the estate (now 70 hectares), which is planted at high density and managed in a highly sustainable manner on the right bank of the Rhône (Condrieu, Côte-Rôtie, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray, and Cornas) and, since 2012, on the left bank (Crozes-Hermitage).

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

The nose reveals notes of white peach and bergamot; the wine is aged in oak, but the wine retains a certain detachment from the wood. The overall impression is less heavy, and the wine exhibits a certain freshness, while the terroir also lends it length.

About the estate:

In 1987, Yves Cuilleron took over the family estate founded by his grandfather in 1920. Dynamic and enterprising, Yves has continued to expand the estate, which now spans 90 hectares across the major appellations of the northern Rhône Valley, complemented by a wine trading business. The style of the wines has become more refined in recent years, and the focus on terroir continues to grow thanks to a very interesting range of single-vineyard wines. It is a trusted producer.
