WINE DESCRIPTION

Yves Cuilleron Condrieu La Petite Côte is a premium white wine produced by renowned winemaker Yves Cuilleron in the Condrieu appellation of the Northern Rhône region in France. The wine is made from 100% Viognier grapes grown on steep, terraced vineyards with granite soils that impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation in oak barrels, followed by aging on lees for several months to enhance the wine's complexity and texture. The resulting wine is a rich and aromatic expression of Viognier, with notes of apricot, peach, honey, and floral aromas. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes.

ORIGINS

Winery: Yves Cuilleron

Region: Rhone

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
