Yves Cuilleron Condrieu Les Chaillets is a white Rhône from the Northern Rhône. The name refers to the local dialect for the traditional stone terraces where the oldest Viognier vines of the estate are planted on steep granitic slopes. The 2009 vintage provided a ripe, sunny fruit profile that Cuilleron balanced through ageing on the lees in French oak barrels for approximately nine months. This wine is known for its flamboyant aromatics and lush mouthfeel, showing significant textural weight. It offers intense flavours of lychee, violet and spicy pear, backed by a subtle toasted almond note from the sophisticated wood integration.

Vinous
($09) Vivid gold. Mineral-accented pit fruits and citrus marmalade on the nose, with complicating notes of chamomile and honey. Rich and silky in texture, showing impressive vivacity to its expansive nectarine and tangerine flavors. Finishes smooth, with excellent, gently sweet length and a lingering note of sweet citrus fruit.Josh Raynolds1st January 2011
