2010 St Joseph, L'Amarybelle, Domaine Yves Cuilleron

St Joseph, L'Amarybelle, Domaine Yves Cuilleron
In 2010 we felt that the Amarybelle had the edge over Les Serines. Indeed this is the best Amarybelle we have ever tasted. A year in barrel, of which half is new, has in no way undermined the linearity and purity of the Syrah, fruits of old vines perched in granitic splendour.
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012

Our visit to Yves this year, despite its first-after-lunch graveyard slot, was one of the best of them all. Perhaps it was a fruit day! The wines were singing and Yves was composed and confident, clearly very happy with the vintage. For him the long ripening season of 2010, with its significant diurnal temperature variations, was the key to quality. The vigneron’s Grand Master chess skills were fully exercised in the decision of when to harvest… a tricky decision of course, each plot being different, but now, finally I understand the purpose of each of the many varied cuvées in the range and there appears to be some stability and a real sense of purpose in the winemaking….and not too much new oak now…..The enfant terrible has really come of age…
