IGP Collines Rhodaniennes Marsanne les Vignes d'à Côté Yves Cuilleron (Domaine) 2023

The wine

Originating from a granitic and alluvial soil, the Marsanne has been grown following sustainable and respectful methods. In the cellar, the wine was subject to natural alcoholic and malolactic fermentation and the wine is aged for six months on its lees in vats and barriques. Therefore, the wine is generously aromatic. We find notes of white-fleshed fruit, citrus fruits like pomelo grapefruit and blood orange, as well as white flowers. The tasty palate is balanced by wonderful freshness and ends with lovely bitter and fine spicy touches.

About the Producer Yves Cuilleron

Yves Cuilleron likes good food and fine wine, and makes no secret of this. Viticulture has been in his blood for three generations so it was only natural for him to take over the family vineyard in 1987. His grandfather, Claude Cuilleron, planted the plot in 1920 and began bottling his own wine in 1947. Yves initially favoured a mechanised approach but his love of good wine led him back to a more traditional approach. He does not hold any certifications but his vineyards are tended meticulously with the goal of producing the best possible grapes. All the work is carried out by hand and chemical additives are prohibited. In the winery, vinification is traditional. Yves Cuilleron strives for overall harmony in his wines which are known for their elegant expression and finesse.
