Yves Cuilleron started in 1987 by taking over the three hectares of his parents. Today, it is at the head of a pretty vineyard heritage, one of the most beautiful in the northern part of the Rhone. It prepares good year, bad year 430 000 bottles and it is at the head of 75 ha of vines: It is not a coincidence. An indefatigable worker, a curious and inventive mind, he does not hesitate to cross the country for a tasting or a visit. The whole range is of a rare homogeneity, each wine is in its place, from the entrance of the range particularly well cared for to the great wines known as carllaires: it has quite precisely abandoned the names of its cuvées to return most often to the terroirs of origin. It complements this overflowing activity by a trading activity. The whole is centralized in a cellar of nearly 4000 m2, which allows pointed vinifications. With his companions Pierre Gaillard and François Villard, he launched the wines of Vienna to clear and reborn the ancient symbol of Seyssuel abandoned since phylloxera.
