Tasting Notes "Red, blue, and black fruits, violets, potpourri, baking chocolate, and spice all emerge from the 2022 Côte Rôtie Bassenon, a more approachable Côte Rôtie than either the Bonnivières or Viallière. Medium to full-bodied and mouth-filling, with a rich and textured profile and rounded tannins, give this just a few years in the cellar." -- JD
Pairings Lamb confit with honey and thyme
Awards 91pts Jeb Dunnuck
The Story
1.5 ha of south-facing terraced vines on Coteau de Semons, in Tupin-Semons commune. "Bassenon" is not the district but the stream at the foot of the hill.
About Yves Cuilleron
Producer Story
“For three generations, wine has been part of my family history, on my mother’s and father’s sides. My paternal grandfather established the estate in 1920, and in 1947 he began selling his wine bottled. In 1960, my uncle Antoine Cuilleron became the manager of my paternal grandfather’s estate. In 1987, when I took over running it, I decided to settle in Verlieu, my mother’s home village.”
