The palate is pure and balanced, the freshness of the terroir brings a beautiful density to the wine. A vintage to enjoy in 15 years or more.

Know a bit more about the domain

Domaine Cuilleron today covers 77 hectares of several Rhone appellations, from Saint-Péray to Côte Rôtie, including Saint Joseph and Condrieu. Originally, Yves Cuilleron studied mechanical engineering, before spending his military service with several Alsatian and Burgundian winegrowers. These various encounters will undoubtedly push the man to take over the family estate of Chavanay (3.5 hectares) in 1987. Very quickly, the winemaker thinks big and buys a myriad of abandoned plots, still affordable at the time. . The style of the wines is now widely asserted.
