(Notes from the 2013 vintage)

Made from old vines growing on hillsides and terraces, the 2014 Amarybelle is the result of meticulous craftsmanship. It offers a rich, indulgent profile with classic Syrah notes: sweet spices, candied black fruits, and graphite. A complex and alluring Saint Joseph!

3-star rating (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Yves Cuilleron is the largest wine producer in the entire northern Rhône region, with 65 hectares currently under cultivation and around twenty different wines, mainly from Saint-Joseph, Condrieu, and Côte Rôtie. Only the Crozes wines are made from purchased grapes. Indigenous yeasts and aging in wood (9 months for whites, 18 months for reds) define a style that is certainly woody, but where each terroir ultimately expresses itself. Starting with the 2015 vintage, each appellation offers a cuvée with a lieu-dit name. One of the leading addresses in the Rhône Valley.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated estate (2024 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the estate:

A benchmark in the northern valley, particularly for its Condrieu wines. Based in Chavanay, Yves Cuilleron took over the estate in 1987, which was founded in 1920 by his paternal grandfather and then managed by his uncle Antoine. He has gradually expanded the estate (now covering 70 hectares), planted with high-density vines and managed in a very 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 quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

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 develop the estate, which now covers 90 hectares in the main appellations of the northern Rhône Valley, complemented by a wine trading business. The style of the wines has been refined in recent years and the terroirs are increasingly being showcased thanks to a very interesting range of single vineyard wines. This is a trusted estate.
