Tasting Notes

100% Syrah. In the centre of the Côte-Rôtie appellation, in the municipality of Ampuis 'Bonnivières' is a handsome east-facing, old vine, vineyard of mica schist. The 'Terres Sombres' cuvée was made chiefly with wines from this vineyard. - Importer Note

'Bright purple. Expansive, smoke- and spice-accented blueberry, cherry liqueur and violet aromas show excellent clarity and hints of olive and smoky bacon. Sweet and broad on the palate, offering impressively concentrated black and blue fruit and floral pastille flavors, along with exotic spice and vanilla nuances. The impressively long, penetrating finish features nervy minerally cut, an echo of juicy blue fruit and fine-grained tannins that build steadily.'93-95 Points - vinous.com

The top Cuilleron wines are planted 8000-10000 vines per hectare. There are no insecticides (for the last 20 years) or herbicides used in the vineyards. Yves Cuilleron rejects off-the-shelf ideas. His vision of vine cultivation is highly personal: not conventional, not organic, not biodynamic. And his philosophy is simple: "Produce the best possible grapes”. He practises "viticulture reasonable”, an integrated, eco-friendly approach in which observation is critical. All vine work vital to grape quality is conducted: planting of Viognier vines deriving solely from the family’s yards ("selections massales”), and of Syrah vines from high-quality clones and from "selections massales”. - Importer Note
