Yves Cuilleron Les Pierres Sèches – Saint-Joseph – Red – 2023:

 

Domaine Cuilleron’s Benchmark Saint-Joseph

“Les Pierres Sèches” Saint-Joseph from Domaine Yves Cuilleron is a quintessential Northern Rhône Syrah. The name, meaning ‘The Dry Stones’, pays homage to the granite walls that define the steep, sun-drenched vineyards. This cuvée is celebrated for its purity, showcasing Syrah’s vibrant fruit and peppery complexity.

Sommelier’s Tasting Profile

• Colour: Deep purple-ruby.
• Nose: Highly expressive bouquet of dark forest berries, blackcurrant, and a classic Northern Rhône lift of violet and black pepper. Notes of subtle oak aging add complexity.
• Palate: Juicy, well-defined, and beautifully balanced. It features a core of ripe fruit framed by fine, silky tannins and a refreshing acidity. This is a wine of great finesse, built for both immediate enjoyment and mid-term cellaring.

Serving & Food Match

Decant for an hour and serve at 16-18°C. An impeccable match for classic British fare.

• The perfect accompaniment to a Traditional Roast Leg of Lamb with Rosemary and Garlic or a rich Game Pie.
