Yves Cuilleron Marsanne

This 100% Marsanne comes from the northern Rhône, where Yves Cuilleron cultivates vineyards on granite slopes near Chavanay. The wine is fermented with native yeasts and aged partly in old oak, offering texture without overt woodiness—an elegant take on a Rhône white.

Aromas of ripe pear, honeysuckle, and toasted almond. The palate is rounded yet fresh, with flavours of apricot, citrus peel, and a gentle nuttiness, finishing smooth with a touch of spice and minerality.

Contains sulphites.

• Roast guinea fowl with herb butter
• Creamy polenta with mushrooms
• Baked trout with almonds

• Butternut squash gratin

Yves Cuilleron took over his uncle’s domaine in 1987 and quickly earned a reputation as one of the Rhône’s most thoughtful and quality-driven growers. His Marsanne is a brilliant showcase of how expressive the grape can be outside of blends—textured, aromatic, and quietly complex.
