Tasting notes
Aroma
Powerful, deep and pure. Complex nose where varietal aromas (apricot and violet) intertwine with the mineral aromas of the terroir and the lightly toasted aromas of ageing (almonds).
Taste
Straight and slender on the palate, with a lovely velvety touch and sweet spices on the finish.

Cave Yves Cuilleron
Cave Yves Cuilleron is a domain from the region Vallée du Rhône in France, that produces 16 wines available to purchase, including the wine Les Chaillets 2000.
Appellation
Condrieu
The appellation Condrieu is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Cave Yves Cuilleron and its 16 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
