The 2024 Yves Cuilleron Saint-Péray Potiers is a refined blend of Marsanne and Roussanne from the granite and limestone soils of Saint-Péray in the Northern Rhône. Produced by Yves Cuilleron, one of the region’s most respected growers, the wine highlights the freshness, texture and elegance that have made Saint-Péray one of the Rhône’s most exciting white wine appellations. Careful vinification preserves the purity of the fruit while allowing the terroir to shine through.
The nose reveals white peach, pear and apricot alongside notes of honeysuckle, citrus blossom and toasted almond. The palate is beautifully textured, combining ripe stone fruit with bright acidity and a subtle mineral edge. Hints of beeswax, lemon zest and gentle spice add complexity, while the finish is long, fresh and finely balanced. The 2024 vintage delivers excellent purity and vibrancy, making it both approachable and sophisticated.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A beautifully crafted Rhône white that balances richness with freshness and finesse. Elegant and highly versatile, it pairs wonderfully with grilled seafood, scallops, roast chicken, pork dishes and creamy cheeses. Enjoy now and over the next 5–8 years as it develops additional texture, complexity and savoury character.
