Cuilleron is one of the benchmark producers of traditional, fancier wines made in the northern Rhne. This Cte-Rtie is one of the most important hilltop appellations in the region; this single-vineyard ‘Terres Sombres’ bottling also has appropriate age, so should be within an appropriate drinking window for this big-boned, powerful Syrah. Decant and serve with hearty meals!
