The vineyards are ancient and situated in the best locations. Surrounded by narrow gorges, steep slopes, and the most beautiful terraces, Marsanne grapes are grown. Nature provides the Marsanne with everything it needs: warmth from the sun, cool winds, and, of course, a soil structure that has served as a vineyard for centuries. Imagine how many leaves and twigs are woven into the rich soil structure! Yes, a lot at once, and that gives the harvest a great deal of richness and finesse. All grapes are harvested by hand to ensure only the finest bunches are used in this white wine. This results in a juice that is exceptionally pure and gives this wine great power.
After pressing, this Marsanne is partially aged in oak barrels in the cellars of Domaine Yves Cuilleron. This gives the wine its strength and richness in both aroma and taste. This is also clearly evident in the aroma, which offers impressions of fresh flowers, honeysuckle, a touch of roasted hazelnuts, and a subtle hint of peach. The palate is broad and powerful, with nuances of apricots, peaches, nuts, vanilla, and, of course, some fresh wood. The finish is ripe and particularly long, with plenty of juiciness.
