Wine Description:

Pleasant and aromatic wine. Pretty fresh red fruits and delicate spices give a beautiful expression of syrah.

100% Syrah. This wine is a blend of parcels located adjacent to the crus, within the IGP Collines Rhodaniennes region. Aged for 8 months, 50% in barrels and 50% in tanks. It has a brilliant red color. The nose is pleasant and aromatic, with notes of fresh red fruit. On the palate, these fresh red fruits reappear, underscored by the spicy notes of Syrah. Enjoy it young or within 3-4 years, pairing well with charcuterie or grilled meats such as beef kebabs.

Producer Description

A top star domaine. Yves Cuilleron took over the reins as the 4th generation vigneron in 1987. He is based in Chavanay, just south of Condrieu and has built up a formidable reputation in recent years. Always developing new ideas and cuvées, our tasting here each year is mightily impressive. We are lucky to have the allocation we do. Having started with Yves’ stunning Vin de France, we now have access to his amazing range of Grands Vins. He now owns and leases over 75 hectares. We think they are all great wines and they are all in the style of Yves Cuilleron – lingering, rich white wines and big rich minerally reds.
