Description: The Cuilleron Family's Domaine, located in the town of Chavanay, was founded several generations ago inn 1920. For young Yves Cuilleron, a passionate winemaker, "making a wine like every other is inconceivable”. Yves wants “a wine with Cuilleron’s signature: a wine that bears the hallmarks of its terroir and vintage but also has its own original character.” This cuvee is sourced from terraced vineyards perched on the slopes of Chavanay, which makes machine harvesting difficult, if not impossible. The soil is a mixture of sand and granite with a very thin top soil. In the cellar, the grapes are fermented using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged in a combination of stainless steel tanks and barrels for 8 months.
Food pairing: Charcuterie, barbecued meats, yakitori, rich tomato sauces, wild mushroom dishes, vegan "meat", etc.
