Cave Yves Cuilleron Cote Rotie Bassenon 2021 | Ewineasia.com

An elegant bouquet that mixes Syrah’s red berry fruits with Viognier’s floral character (violets). Elegant, fresh and airy on the palate. Subtle yet prominent tannins.

1.5 ha of south-facing terraced vines on Coteau de Semons, in Tupin-Semons commune. “Bassenon” is not the district but the stream at the foot of the hill on granite and gneiss, typical of the south of this AOC area. High-density planting (8,000-10,000 vines per hectare). Open, temperature-controlled vatting for about 3 weeks, with regular cap-punching and pumping-over. Malolactic-fermented in barriques with native yeasts for 18 months in barriques
