Pierre Usseglio Châteauneuf-du-Pape Not For You 2007 is a full-bodied Grenache red wine from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the 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. Not For You is an incredibly limited production cuvée of 100% Grenache from a single parcel of vines that were planted in 1909. "In both 2007 and 2010, the Usseglios produced approximately 400 or so bottles from a small lot of 95-year-old Grenache from a vineyard in Les Grandes Serres that took over two years to ferment dry because of the extraordinarily high sugars. Called Chateauneuf du Pape Not For You, this is more like an Amarone-styled wine, or something akin to Henri Bonneau’s famous Cuvee Speciale that he made in both 1990 and 1998. It may not be “for you,” but there is not much of it. For those who are alcohol-phobes, this is a wine to clearly stay away from, as it has close to 18% finished alcohol and 2-3 grams of sugar (hence the comparison to Bonneau’s Cuvee Speciale or an Italian Amarone). It possesses loads of fig and animal notes as well as roasted herbs, sweet kirsch and plum-like fruit. It is definitely a different animal and probably best drunk from a tiny glass at the end of a meal by itself or with a selection of complementary cheeses." Wine Advocate, 2011
