Lots of ripe stone fruit on the nose, plus wet stone and honeysuckle. The nicely textured palate has generous flavours of peach, apricot, vanilla, lemon and ginger. Fairly full-bodied, with stone minerals and decent medium acidity. This wine is all about delivering a classic style of Northern Rhône Viognier, from just outside the famous appellations.

Tasting Note

Bright straw yellow
Fleshy and greedy wine. Typical nose of the viognier with ripe yellow fruits (apricot, nectarine) with violet touch.
Juicy and fresh on the palate with an acidulous finish

Winery Info / Brand

Yves Cuilleron

Yves Cuilleron, is described by Wine Spectator as "the leader of Condrieu's new generation of winemakers." Yves represents the 4th generation of Cuilleron vignerons although he initially trained as a engineer. The lure of the vine proved too hard to resist and after a year's training at the Ecole Viticole in Macon he took over the vineyards in 1987.

Since then he has built an entirely new winery at Chavany facility while at the same time he acquired additional vineyard property. The domaine now produces about 50,000 bottles annually divided between the appellations of St. Joseph Blanc, St. Joseph Rouge, Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu.
