2006 Domaine Yves Cuilleron Condrieu La Petite Cote (half bottle)

Yves Cuilleron is best known for boldly flavored, lush, round Condrieus, sometimes with a bit of residual sugar. Cuilleron has been backing away from the use of new oak in recent years. This Condrieu specialist also makes Côte-Rôtie and old-vine Saint-Joseph in a modern, oaky style. The whites from Saint-Joseph are made primarily from Marsanne. All of Cuilleron's white wines receive malolactic fermentation, increasing their creaminess and depth of flavor.
