Cuilleron Les Vignes d'a Cote Syrah

Yves Cuilleron took over the reins as the 4th generation vigneron in 1987. He is based in Chavanay, just south of Condrieu.

As a totally driven man with a growing family and a part share with other top growers in vineyards on the eastern side of the Rhône, Yves has around 75 hectares and a fantastic, purpose-built and temperature controlled new cellar.

Cuilleron is, above all, a family estate. Having always loved tasting and gastronomy, wine has been part of the Cuilleron family history for the past three generations. 

Very attached to local traditions, Yves applies a unique principle in winemaking: “Make it as simple as possible”. All wines are manually harvested, with careful sorting of the grapes and fermentation with exclusively natural yeasts under controlled temperatures.

For Cuilleron, it is not a question of “making a perfect wine”, wine that resemble all the others. He wants wines with the Cuilleron signature, wines marked by the terroir, the vintage but also by an original character or style. 

Tasting notes: If, like us, you love gourmet and expressive Syrahs, you will not be disappointed. This shows a beautiful deep ruby ​​colour and clear aromas of red fruits with a slightly peppery finish.

The structure of this red wine from Cuilleron is fleshy and generous, a really very pleasant Syrah that you can enjoy with friends around a spread composed of terrines and various cold meats or with grilled meats around a barbecue.
