Description

The most impressive of the trio is the 2012 Cote Rotie Terres Sombres! A smoking blend of 100% Syrah that will see 18 months in 60% new French oak, it boasts knockout aromas of black raspberry, cassis, violets, licorice and crushed rock. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully pure and elegant, with fine tannin emerging on the finish, it has loads of potential, as well as upwards of two decades of longevity. -WA

The Winery

Domaine Yves Cuilleron is a producer in the northern Rhone, making red and white wines predominantly from Syrah and Viognier, respectively. The domaine has been in the Cuilleron family for three generations, but it is the domaine's current owner and winemaker, Yves Cuilleron, who has expanded the size, scope, and scale of the estate's vineyard land holdings and winery. Estate holdings were a mere 3.5 hectares (8.6 acres) in Condrieu and Saint-Joseph before Yves Cuilleron took over in 1987. The estate now runs to 59ha (146 acres) of vineyard land in Cote Rotie, Crozes-Hermitage, Cornas and Saint-Peray. These vineyards are planted to Syrah, Marsanne, Roussanne, and Viognier.
