The Cuilleron family has been growing vines in Chavanay since the early 20th century, but it was in 1987 that Yves, the fourth generation, took charge of the small 3.5-hectare domaine in Condrieu and Saint-Joseph. Over time, he expanded the estate to about 90 hectares across six Northern Rhône AOCs (Condrieu, Côte-Rôtie, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray, Crozes-Hermitage, and Cornas), as well as producing IGP and Vin de France wines.
The vineyard is in organic conversion and managed plot by plot.
His Condrieu and his Syrahs from Côte-Rôtie and Saint-Joseph are defined by pure fruit, enveloping textures, and great precision, making Cuilleron one of the leading names in the contemporary Northern Rhône.
