2021 | Domaine Yves Cuilleron | Les Vignes d'a Cote Syrah

Year in year out this is one of the great bargains of the wine world. Yves Cuilleron makes some quite pricey wines in St. Joseph and Condrieu but this is the entry level wine. It's made from 100% syrah and has some of the elegance and fragrance that you might find in more pricey wines made nearby. And there's only 12% alcohol so this is a great lunchtime wine especially if you serve it very lightly chilled. Light body with fresh raspberries, violets, and a little black pepper.

Producer Information

Domaine Yves Cuilleron is a producer in the northern Rhône, making red and white wines predominantly from Syrah and Viognier, respectively. The domaine has been in the Cuilleron family for three generations, but it is the domaine's current owner and winemaker, Yves Cuilleron, who has expanded the size, scope, and scale of the estate's vineyard holdings and its winery. Estate holdings were a mere 3.5 hectares (8.6 acres) in Condrieu and Saint-Joseph before Cuilleron took over in 1987. The estate now runs to 75 hectares (185 acres) of vineyard land across the additional appellations of Côte Rôtie, Crozes-Hermitage, Cornas and Saint-Péray as well as the lcal IGP title, IGP Collines Rhodaniennes. For the Condrieu wines, the grapes are whole-cluster pressed, fermented in barrel with indigenous yeasts, and then aged for nine months on their lees. The lieu-dit labels get between 12 and 18 months in barrel.
