Very pure blackberry, mineral nose with great purity and definition. The palate is equally pure with black peppery fruits, meaty and roasted herbs. More of an elegant Cote-Rotie than an explosive one. (6 x 75 cl)
It has taken Yves Cuilleron 10 years to establish himself as one of the most dynamic young winegrowers in the Northern Rhone. His bold wines move and impress aficionados by their deep combination of terroir and style, a style which combines concentration and elegance, the two words which best define a great wine. The Condrieu appellation is only 100 hectares in total of which Yves owns 8. This makes him a major player in an appellation which has 40 vineyard owners and in which only 20 producers make their own wine. In recent years as part of the revival of interest in Rhone Valley wines, a group of mostly young growers, all working with consultant oenologist Jean Luc Colombo, have formed a group called Rhone Vignobles. Colombo has generated interest (12 x 75 cl)

Domaine du Monteillet is situated high on the plateau above the village of Chavannay. Since taking over from his father, Stephane Montez has transformed the standard of wine-making at Domaine du Monteillet. The wine with its high percentage of Viognier is strikingly floral showing sweet violets, wild rose and cherryblossom. The palate is equally perfumed revealing cherries and wild berries with firm yet integrated tannins bringing up the rear. (12 x 75 cl)
