“Yves Cuilleron has become one of the bright shining stars of the northern Rhone” – Wine Enthusiast Magazine
Yves Cuilleron Lieu-Dit Digue St-Joseph Blanc 2022 is a 100% Roussanne white wine from the St-Joseph appellation of the northern Rhône valley. Produced by the renowned Yves Cuilleron from the single vineyard area, Digue, on a very steep south-facing slope in the commune of Saint-Pierre-de-Boeuf, in the north of the St-Joseph appellation. The Marsanne grapes are organically farmed. Ageing on lees in a combination of 30hl oak casks and Burgundy barrels, without racking, for eight months.
ABOUT DOMAINE YVES CUILLERON
Yves Cuilleron succeeded his uncle, Antoine, in 1987. This highly regarded domaine has been steadily expanding. With vineyard holdings of only 3.5 hectares when Yves Cuilleron assumed control, he is now pushing toward 100 hectares with vines in every Northern Rhône appellation, save for Hermitage. Cuilleron is not shy about using new oak, but the percentage has been throttled back over the last decade, which is a positive result. Cuilleron travels extensively to benchmark, and his wines are highly sought after worldwide.
