Cave Yves Cuilleron Cornas Lieu-Dit Les Cotes is a powerful yet controlled Northern Rhône red, combining dark fruit intensity, savoury spice and a firm mineral backbone.

Made with careful extraction and matured in oak, the wine develops structure, texture and complexity while preserving the rugged identity of Cornas.

The domaine's vineyard work is guided by sustainable principles, with hands-on care, soil respect and low-intervention decisions that allow the terroir to remain central.

Yves Cuilleron brings a precise, modern hand to historic Rhône appellations, and his Cornas captures both the wild character of the place and the discipline of a meticulous grower-winemaker.

Tasting notes

A powerful and structured Cornas crafted from 100% Syrah grown on century-old vines planted in 1911 on an amphitheatre-shaped granite hillside. The nose reveals sun-kissed dark berries, black cherry, aromatic herbs, and roasted coffee beans with black pepper and licorice undertones. The palate presents a classic Cornas chassis with Cuilleron's signature restraint, offering supple yet finely structured tannins and an elegantly scented profile. Eighteen months in barriques builds remarkable intensity, with the wine developing silkiness over years of cellaring.
