This tasting will be an impressive tour-de-force of one producer's masterful interpretation of this region in all its diversity.
"Since I can remember, I've always loved tastings and good food. Wine has been part of my family history for three generations. The domaine wasn't destined for me, but my passion drew me back to my vigneron roots, and in 1987 I took over the family estate," comments Yves.
The Cuilleron estate, located in Verlieu, a hamlet of Chavanay just south of Condrieu, is one of the benchmark producers of the Rhône. Proprietor Yves Cuilleron makes an assortment of wines from multiple appellations, including Condrieu, Saint Péray, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint Joseph, Côte Rôtie, and a range of terrific varietally labelled Vin de Pays from the Collines Rhodaniennes.
