Petite Serene is an ancient variety of Syrah (old vines planted locally) that is said to produce more expressive wines than modern clones. Partially destemmed and crushed. Maceration in open tanks for three weeks. Using only indigenous yeasts, Mr. Cuillon, born in 1961, studied winemaking and cultivation at a vocational school and took over his uncle's domaine in 1986. He has already reached the top level as a white wine producer in the Rhone region since his mid-30s, and especially owns a large 12-hectare vineyard in Condrieu, where he produces outstanding wines with complex, rich, well-balanced, and deep flavors. The Vieilles Vignes made from old vines and the Récolte Tartives made from perfectly ripe grapes picked later are impressive. The vines are 15 to 60 years old, and the grapes are selected and harvested while keeping the amount to a minimum, and then carefully selected again on the selection table. For reds, up to 30% of the grapes are fermented whole in cement and stainless steel tanks, which allow for easy temperature control. For whites, the wines are generally fermented in barrels. After a long maceration period, the wines are aged in small barrels (10-100% new barrels) for 6-18 months. The wines are frequently batonnaged and bottled without filtering. Currently, the Domaine owns 75 hectares and is the largest in the Northern Rhone region. In 2016, the Domaine opened a new winery and adopted gravity flow, striving to produce even more outstanding wines.
