“A briny Condrieu with delightful citrus notes. We praise its beautiful liveliness. ” (The Guide to the Best Wines of France 2022 - RVF) La Petite Côte is an expressive and alluring wine. The nose evokes a basket of sun-kissed fruits—apricot, quince, peach, and citrus. Subtle floral notes (lilac, rose, and violet) and hints of honey add complexity to this already charming wine.

Bettane & Desseauve
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 different wines, primarily from Saint-Joseph, Condrieu, and Côte Rôtie; only the Crozes is made from purchased grapes. The use of native yeasts and aging in oak (9 months for whites, 18 months for reds) defines 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 lieu-dit. One of the leading estates in the Rhône Valley.

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 ha), which is planted at high density and managed using highly sustainable methods 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).

About the estate:

The style of the wines has become more refined in recent years, and the focus on terroir is growing thanks to a very interesting range of single-vineyard wines. It is a trusted producer.
