Yves Cuilleron's flagship wine is the 'Petite Cote' Condrieu. The vines are planted on the terraced slopes in Chavanay with south, south-west exposure gaining maximum morning sunlight. It is aged for 9 months in barrel with regular battonage. Creamy, rich and almost decadent, this is an incredible expression of Condrieu that rivals those of Vernay and Guigal. A must try!

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.
