Born in 1961, Mr. Cuillon studied winemaking and viticulture at a vocational school before taking over his uncle's Domaine in 1986. In his mid-30s, he has already reached the top level as a white wine producer in the Rhone region, and in particular 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 spectacular. The vines are 15 to 60 years old, and the grapes are harvested in a minimum amount while selecting the fully ripe grapes, which are then carefully selected again on the selection table. The reds are fermented whole-cluster up to 30% depending on the year in cement and stainless steel tanks where temperature control is easy. The whites are basically fermented in barrels. After a long maceration, they are aged in small barrels (10 to 100% new barrels) for 6 to 18 months. They are frequently batonnaged and bottled without filtering. Currently, the Domaine owns 75 hectares and is the largest in the Northern Rhone region. In 2016, they opened a new winery and adopted gravity flow, striving to produce even more outstanding wines.
