    The wine

    En plein coeur de l'appellation Côte-Rôtie, sur la commune d'Ampuis, se trouve le lieu-dit "Bonnivières". Yves Cuilleron y détient des vignes exposées plein est. Cette exposition permet de conserver une certaine fraîcheur que l'on retrouve dans cette cuvée. Une partie de la parcelle est plantée de vieilles vignes que le vigneron entretient avec attention. Cette cuvée de grande garde est encore un peu serrée à l'ouverture, marquée par des notes fraîches de santal et de graphite. La fraîcheur du terroir se lit parfaitement en bouche à travers l'équilibre et la minéralité marquante en finale.

    Information about domain 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.
