Yves Cuilleron

Yves Cuilleron is a leading figure in the Northern Rhône Valley, renowned for his dynamic approach and unwavering commitment to quality. Since taking over the family estate in 1987, he has significantly expanded the vineyards, growing from 3.5 hectares to approximately 75 hectares across prestigious appellations such as Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, Côte-Rôtie, Crozes-Hermitage, Cornas, and Saint-Péray.

Among his standout wines are:

• Les Serines in Saint-Joseph Rouge: a pure expression of Syrah on granite soils.
• Bassenon and Madinière in Côte-Rôtie: wines combining power and elegance, sourced from meticulously selected plots.
• Les Chaillets and Les Ayguets in Condrieu: rich and aromatic white wines crafted from old Viognier vines.

Yves Cuilleron practices sustainable viticulture, favoring natural fermentations with indigenous yeasts and parcel-specific vinifications to fully showcase the unique characteristics of each terroir. Since 2015, he has introduced “lieu-dit” wines, emphasizing single-vineyard expressions, an approach reminiscent of Burgundy's cru system.

His artisanal methods and dedication to terroir have earned his wines international acclaim, making him a cornerstone of the Northern Rhône's reputation for excellence.
