Description Cornas "Les Côtes"

Estate

Domaine Yves Cuilleron is a benchmark estate in the Northern Rhône. Established in 1920 and taken over by Yves Cuilleron in 1987, the estate combines traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques. Cuilleron focuses on expressing the terroir through parcel-by-parcel winemaking. With a meticulous and artisanal approach, he has gained a strong reputation among wine professionals. The estate is based in Chavanay, close to the Cornas appellation.

Vineyard

The vines grow on steep granitic slopes typical of Cornas. This continental climate—with hot summers and cold winters—ensures optimal ripening of the Syrah grape. The vineyard is cultivated sustainably with manual work and low yields to enhance fruit concentration. The harvest is done by hand, with careful sorting of the grapes. These practices ensure high-quality raw material.

Wine

Domaine Yves Cuilleron's Cornas is a powerful and structured red wine that embodies its appellation’s identity. It features depth, aromatic intensity, and aging potential. This wine highlights the mineral and tannic traits of the Cornas terroir. Precise vinification provides harmony between fruit and structure. It reaches its full potential after aging for several years.

Vintage

The 2021 vintage was shaped by contrasting weather—a cool and wet spring followed by a milder summer. These conditions allowed for slow, steady ripening, enhancing aromatic complexity and acidity. Harvested at full maturity, the grapes yielded a balanced Syrah. The vintage stands out for its freshness, fine tannins, and good cellaring potential. It is consistent with other quality vintages from the estate.

Vinification & Aging

The grapes are destemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Extraction is gentle to preserve fruit finesse. The maceration lasts about 3 weeks. Aging lasts 18 months in mostly old barrels to refine tannins without masking terroir expression. No aggressive filtration is used before bottling.
