Description

South/southeast-facing vines in terraces overlooking the village of Chavanay and Verlieu in the middle of the Condrieu AOP. “La Petite Côte” is not a district but a cuvee brand.

Yves Cuilleron is one of the greats of Condrieu. He is based in the village of Chavanay, just south of Condrieu with familial roots going back a century. His grandfather was the first to bottle wine for commercial purposes in his village. Yves assumed control of the estate from his uncle Antoine in 1987. He increased the exposure of Condrieu but also gained holdings in nearby Cote-Rotie and even acquired vineyards in St-Peray, far to the south. His flagship wine is the "Petite Cote Condrieu."

Tasting Note

Straw yellow
Exuberant nose refers to a bouquet of fruits: peach, apricot, quince and citrus. All of this is completed by sweet flowers touch (lilacs, rose and violet).
Fleshy and gourmand on the Gourmand and fresh mouth, a lovely spicy power and a slightly bitter extend the final.
