HISTORY OF DOMAINE CUILLERON
Founded in 1920, Domaine Cuilleron is located in the heart of the Rhône Valley and has become a benchmark in the Rhône Valley thanks to the evolution of its practices under the leadership of Yves Cuilleron, representative of the fourth generation, who took over the reins of the family business in 1987. Yves Cuilleron also participated in the creation of Vins de Vienne, with Pierre Gaillard and François Villard in 1996. Combining modernity with respect for family traditions, the estate has forged a solid reputation based on the quality and authenticity of its wines, the fruit of meticulous attention to detail at every stage of the winemaking process.
YVES CUILLERON'S APPROACH TO VITICULTURE
Domaine Cuilleron adopts an environmentally-friendly approach to viticulture, focusing on the sustainability and health of ecosystems. The vines are grown without insecticides on a variety of terroirs ranging from schist to granite, and the soil is worked to preserve biodiversity. This philosophy of sustainable viticulture guarantees not only high-quality grapes, but also minimal impact on the environment. Each stage, from pruning to hand harvesting, is carried out with care by Yves Cuilleron and his team to ensure that the unique character of each plot is fully expressed.

Each cuvée stands out for its intense aromas and beautiful structure, offering both finesse and ageing potential, the result of winemaking that combines traditional techniques with modern innovations. For Yves Cuilleron, it's all about ‘making things as simple as possible’, from hand-picking to barrel ageing, each bottle tells the story of the terroir and the passion of the person who made it, consolidating the estate's reputation as an undisputed benchmark in the region.
