"Bassenon" is the name of a stream that flows nearby. Vines are 20 years old. 1.5ha. Granite and Gneisse soils. Born in 1961, Mr. Cuillon studied winemaking and cultivation at a vocational school, and then took over his uncle's domaine in 1986. Since 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 12ha 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 by selecting the most ripe grapes, with the minimum amount possible, and then carefully selected again on the selection table. For the reds, up to 30% of the bunches are fermented in cement and stainless steel tanks, where temperature control is easy, depending on the year. The white wines are primarily fermented in barrels. After a long maceration period, they are aged in small barrels (10-100% new barrels) for 6-18 months. They are frequently batonnaged and bottled without filtering. They currently own 75 hectares, making them the largest domaine in the Northern Rhone. In 2016, they opened a new winery and adopted gravity flow, striving to produce even more outstanding wines.
