Yves Cuilleron never meant to be a winemaker. He trained as an engineer. But there was too much history behind him; three generations each on both the maternal and paternal line. When his uncle decided to retire from the family domaine with no successor lined up, the family considered selling. It jolted Yves. 'I didn’t have a moment’s hesitation. I could no longer imagine being anything but a vigneron.' After a year at the Ecole Viticole in Burgundy, he took over, and his methodical, scientific approach informs his whole approach to winemaking. He has thought and rethought every step in the process, and is part of every process from planting vines to bottling. An intense, tiring approach, but as Yves puts it, 'I focus on everything. That’s the price you pay for quality.' Yet it is an approach that has paid dividends. The estate has grown from 3.5 hectares when Yves took it on in 1986 to 59 hectares now, and its reputation has soared.
We are extremely pleased to have Yves joining us for this tasting. His range is too large and varied to cover in its entirety, but we will taste a selection of his wines from across four appellations and two vintages. This will be a fascinating evening, and a great opportunity to learn firsthand from one of the Rhone Valley's finest winemakers.
