Domaine Yves Cuilleron Côte-Rôtie 'Lieu-Dit La Vallière' Syrah 2022

Northern Rhône elegance with power to match 🍷🔥

Yves Cuilleron is one of the great names of the Northern Rhône, and his Côte-Rôties are always among the most talked-about. The Lieu-Dit La Viallière is a single-vineyard expression from one of Côte-Rôtie’s steepest slopes, where Syrah thrives on schist soils.

The 2022 vintage brings richness and generosity, but Cuilleron’s signature style keeps it lifted and refined. Expect layers of dark cherry, blackberry, and black olive, threaded with violets, pepper spice, and a whisper of smoky bacon. Fine tannins and a long mineral finish remind you why Côte-Rôtie is considered Syrah at its most seductive.

This is a wine built to cellar, but one that already shows its class in the glass. Limited production, serious pedigree, and a vineyard name collectors chase.
