Cave Yves Cuilleron Marsanne (France)

A well balanced and aromatic white Rhône with lovely flavours of white fruit, citrus peel, and flowers. This is pleasantly fresh with a wonderful bitter spice finish. The palate is weighty, rounded and fresh with rich white stone fruit, citrus and creamy flavours and touches of exotic spice. A wonderfully expressive wine that is a great advertisement for the Marsanne grape variety. If you don't know, get to know!

Yves Cuilleron is one of the stars of the Northern Rhône making an exceptional range of wines from his base in Chavanay. His so-called 'regional' wines labelled Les Vignes d'à Côte are from vines bordering the named appellation areas and offer all the qualities at great value.

Marsanne is very food friendly and works well with a wide variety of richer seafoods. Also try with cream based dishes such as carbonara.
