The blackberry freshness I love in St Joseph was muted by the bitter toast of barrel. (471 views) | | | Tasted by Dukes88 on 6/12/2022 & rated 91 points: Black fruits, olive on the nose.
A lot of tannins right now. A good decant was required to get beyond the tannins, pepper, licorice, smoky bacon on the palate.
Drank along side a glass of Cuilleron St-Joseph cuve cavanos 2019 which was equally appealing right now and showed a similar profile fir less $.
I would buy the cavanos for immediate enjoyment and les serines to cellar for 3-5years.
Good stuff, +2 in a few years i guess (650 views) | | | Tasted by maxima on 5/24/2022 & rated 91 points: Pas donné pour du St-Joseph mais
celui est hors de l'ordinaire.
Superbe matière.
Des mures et des minéraux avec du bacon et de la fumée.
Les tannins sont souples et la finale bien longue
est toute en douceur.
Bel équilibre et souplesse, on adore!
SENSAS! (1030 views) | | | Tasted by MaMinator on 11/6/2021 & rated 93 points: 👁️ Deep purple with a slight hue on the rim
👃smooth spice, Vanilla, red berries, plum
👅Pepper, leather, dark berries, slight liquorice ind of a contrast to the hint of red berries on the nose. Quite acidic on the Rhone scale of things - maybe a med+.
Superb balance and loooong after taste.
In 3-5 years time when the tannins give way this will be a bomb shell (626 views) | | | Tasted by Loekkeboe on 2/8/2021 & rated 92 points: Fresh and juicy. Quite young but not closed and a joy to drink. (797 views) |

| Domaine Yves Cuilleron Producer website - Read more about the wines of Yves Cuilleron
The Cuilleron family domaine, located in the town of Chavanay, was founded several generations ago. Yves Cuilleron's grandfather was the first to bottle wine for commercial purposes in 1947. Antoine Cuilleron, the uncle and immediate predecessor of Yves, significantly increased the percentage of wine bottled at the estate and extended the scope of the domaine. Yves assumed full ownership and direction in 1987 and, since that time, has built an entirely new facility while at the same time acquiring additional vineyard property. The domaine now produces about 50,000 bottles annually divided between the appellations of St. Joseph Blanc, St. Joseph Rouge, Cote Rotie and Condrieu.
Syrah Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)
Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent.

Regional History:
Phocaean Greeks established viticulture in the Rhone as far back as 600 BC, but until the 14th century the wines were not seen outside the region. The establishment of the Avignonese Papacy (1305-1377) brought fame to the region's wine-so much so that their Burgundian neighbors to the north banned wines from the Rhone in 1446, a measure that effectively cut off trade with England and other Northern European markets for over 200 years. Stretching southward from Lyon to just south of Avignon, the Rhone produces a wide variety of wines, with the appellations north of Valence producing the least (in volume), and the towns south of Montelimar producing prodigious amounts. As in other regions, the most interesting wines come from small farms. Saint-Joseph, in the northern Rhone, extends for some distance between Condrieu in the north to Saint-Peray in the south. The reds are made from Syrah and the rare whites from Marsanne and Roussanne, and Viognier.
