Yves Cuilleron Condrieu Petite Côte 2023

Domaine History

Yves Cuilleron, a benchmark winemaker of the Northern Rhône Valley, took over the family estate in 1987 and quickly became one of the key figures of the region. His philosophy is centered on meticulous vineyard work, respect for terroir, and natural vinification using indigenous yeasts.

Terroir

The vines are planted on steep, terraced hillsides with granite soils, typical of the Condrieu appellation. This exceptional terroir allows the Viognier grape to fully develop its aromatic intensity while preserving freshness and elegance.

Tasting Notes

Bright pale yellow with golden highlights. The nose is intensely aromatic with notes of apricot, peach, white flowers, and a hint of honey. On the palate, the wine is rich and silky, balanced by a refreshing minerality and a long, aromatic finish.

A refined and expressive Condrieu, showcasing the pure elegance of Viognier.

Pairing

Perfect with lobster, scallops, creamy poultry dishes, or aromatic cheeses such as blue cheese or aged goat cheese.
