Pierre Usseglio Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Mon Aïeul 2001 is a full-bodied red wine produced from Grenache grapes in the southern Rhône Valley. Domaine Pierre Usseglio is a family-owned and operated estate and is one of the premier producers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Cuvée de Mon Aïeul is a brilliant wine made from 100% Grenache sourced from three selected plots that range from 75 to 96 years of age and is vinified mostly in concrete tanks and old demi-muids. One the 2001 vintage. "More precise and focused than the more exuberant, sexy and rounded `00, the 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul is borderline perfection (I seriously considered adding a point here) and a monumental Chateauneuf du Pape that is drinking at point. Kirsch, olive tapenade, roasted meats, tobacco and assorted mature Grenache characteristics give way to a full-bodied, massively endowed, concentrated, gorgeously layered wine that`s just about as good as it gets. I kept coming back to this over the evening and it got better and better with air, so while fully mature, it`s not going anywhere soon." Wine Advocate, 2015
