Yves Cuilleron is one of the northern Rhône's most reliably exciting producers, and his Saint-Péray Biousse is a wine that rewards anyone still sleeping on this appellation. Made entirely from Marsanne, the grape that defines Saint-Péray, Biousse comes from a single lieu-dit and is vinified in a mix of old oak and stainless steel, giving it the freshness you want from a young wine alongside the texture and weight that Marsanne, done right, always delivers. The 2023 vintage brought warmth and generous ripeness to the northern Rhône, and you can feel that in the glass: broad, golden, and satisfying, with white stone fruit and a nutty, waxy character that will only deepen with a few more years in bottle.
