Granite soil. Late-harvested grapes from Chavanay. Winemaking and aging in stainless steel tanks and barrels. Born in 1961, Mr. Cuillon studied winemaking and cultivation at a vocational school before taking over his uncle's Domaine in 1986. He has already reached the top level as a white wine producer in the Rhone region since his mid-30s, and in particular owns a large 12-hectare vineyard in Condrieu, where he produces outstanding wines with complex, rich, well-balanced, and deep flavors. The Vieilles Vignes made from old vines and the Récolte Tartives made from perfectly ripe grapes harvested later are spectacular. The vines are 15 to 60 years old, and the grapes are harvested by selecting the most ripe grapes, with the minimum amount possible, and then carefully selected again on the selection table. For the red wine, up to 30% of the whole bunches are fermented in cement and stainless steel tanks, where temperature control is easy, depending on the year. The white wines are primarily fermented in barrels. After a long maceration period, they are aged in small barrels (10-100% new barrels) for 6-18 months. They are frequently batonnaged and bottled without filtering. They currently own 75 hectares, making them the largest domaine in the Northern Rhone. In 2016, they opened a new winery and adopted gravity flow, striving to produce even more outstanding wines.
