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 2016 is powerful and full-bodied yet retains its hallmark brightness and vivacity.

Vinous
Limpid ruby-red. Intensely perfumed, spice-accented aromas of ripe red and blue fruits, potpourri and incense expand steadily with air. Palate-staining raspberry and boysenberry flavors are complemented by an exotic floral pastille quality and suggestions of star anise and allspice. Rich but bright and energetic as well, showing superb finishing clarity, smooth, well-knit tannins and persistent florality. Made entirely with whole clusters and aged in a 60/40 combination of concrete vats and oak demi-muids. Josh Raynolds1st December 2019
