Domaine Pierre Usseglio is a family-owned and operated estate and is one of the premier producers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Cuvée de Mon Aieul 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. The 2017 is remarkably intense and wonderfully complex, exuding delicious notes of red fruits, spice box, liquorice and wild herbs. Perhaps still a little young, this should age very well for up to a decade.

Rich and almost painfully intense, from yields that were reduced by coulure to only about six hectoliters per hectare, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul is steadfast in being all Grenache and all whole cluster. Licorice, chocolate and super ripe plums appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied and velvety, with a long, warm finish.Joe Czerwinski30th August 2019
Vinous
Brilliant ruby-red. An expansive, spice-accented bouquet evokes ripe red fruits, incense and potpourri, and a smoky mineral element adds urgency. Juicy, seamless and appealingly sweet, offering concentrated raspberry, boysenberry and floral pastille flavors that firm up slowly and turn spicier on the back half. Shows serious heft, but there's a distinctly graceful quality as well. Finishes sappy, gently tannic and extremely long, leaving a suave lavender pastille note behind.Josh Raynolds1st December 2019
