Tasting Notes
A sour cherry style gamay from Northern Rhone near, but outside, the traditional Beaujolais boundary. Nicely savoury gamay with plenty of darker red fruits, hints of dusty spice, and finishing with some tannin and acid grip. Enjoy with protein nibbles or mains. 13%alc. Good value. - Michael L
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
