“Yves Cuilleron is a superstar of the Northern Rhône” says Chris Kissack from international wine blog thewinedoctor.com. By all accounts the 2009 vintage in the Northern Rhone has been outstanding. We are thrilled to have limited quantities of the sensational 2009 St Joseph ‘Les Pierres Sèches’ Syrah and 2009 St. Joseph ‘L’Amarybelle’ Syrah Vieille Vignes. Here’s another rave about Yves Cuilleron from wineanorak.com … “In the space of a decade, Yves Cuilleron has established himself as one of the leading lights of France’s Northern Rhône region. He’s a modernist, but not overly so: his wines straddle neatly the divide between traditionalists and the new-wave, in the sense that they retain their sense of place, but express their site in a slightly more approachable, immediate way. There’s purity to the fruit, and where new oak is used it isn’t excessive.” Wineanorack.com
