Domaine Yves Cuilleron Saint-Peray "Les Potiers" 2024

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Y. Castaing, mai 2026): 90/100. Matured for nine months in a combination of foudres and barrels, the 2024 Saint-Péray Les Potiers is perfumed and lively, revealing aromas of white peach, confit citrus, linden blossom and white flowers. Moderately weighted and round, it is built around a juicy core of fruit, beautifully balanced and enhanced by delicate acidity, concluding with a fresh, harmonious finish. It's a classic rendition. DRINK 2026-2033
