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 almost entirely in concrete tanks. The is an extraordinarily perfumed wine with remarkable purity of fruit, delicate floral prettiness and an abundance of mineral complexity. It is startling fresh, vibrant and silky, with wonderfully supple texture and excellent finesse.

Vinous
Deep ruby. Pungent aromas of fresh raspberry, cola, floral pastilles and smoky minerals. Silky, sweet and concentrated, showing a supple texture to its sappy black raspberry and candied lavender flavors. A spicy quality contributes lift and bite but this is all about sappy, pure fruit at this stage. Luscious and seamless in texture, finishing with noteworthy punch, echoing florality and supple, late-arriving tannins that meld smoothly with the wine's sweet fruit.Josh Raynolds1st April 2015
