2020 Yves Cuilleron St-Joseph Les Pierres Sèches

2023-07-30T15:01:03Z

96 points - Deep inky red. Alluring and complex nose of potpourri, florals, touches of savoury barnyard character, beef stock, cassis, blue currants and redcurrants, detailed. Structural and lithe on the palate, minerally, rocky components, also black pepper. Good deep set core of fruit, powerful and understated. Lengthy. This is seriously good syrah.

95 points - Dark purple. Brooding nose of dark cherries. Mysterious, dark and intriguing. There are rusty iron tones swinging in the mix. Palate is densely woven, very tight at first. Cloves, pepper with a salty mineral finish. Superb, just needs time and protein.

94 points - Green yellow. Apricot kernel. Good acidity to keep it fresh: superb balance. Great food wine where a full bodied creamy white is called for.

2021-08-01T10:49:52Z

93 points - Yellow golden colour. Faint apricot nose with hints of nuttiness, presumably from the barrel treatment. A rich textured palate, almost oily. Stonefruit aromas. Lovely with grilled chicken.

2017 Cuilleron Saint-Joseph Lieu-Dit Digue Roussanne

2021-08-01T10:51:18Z

93 points - Mid gold. Lots of reductive, chicken stock aromas. Rich and powerful on the palate, quite savoury, a lick of alcohol heat. A powerful style. Excellent with flame grilled spatchcock with lemon, thyme and garlic. It really lifts the thyme herb character.

2019 Yves Cuilleron Les Vignes d'à Côté Syrah

2021-02-28T07:12:10Z

89 points - Deep full purple red, good colour. Smoky, char, dark skinned plum aromas. Good extraction and body, firmly structured, with slightly grippy tannins on the finish. Well made; if only there was more complexity! Some leather characters, savoury and chaffy, I guess this is terroir!

2016 Yves Cuilleron St Joseph Lyséras Marsanne Roussanne

2019-11-02T09:33:48Z

94 points - Yellow. Hibiscus flower and lemon. Delicate subtlety at work here, with lemon honey and apricot all bubbling away below the surface in the faintest, slightest way. Totally smooth, light creamy and integrated palate. Hint of oak, with cinnamon showing.
