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. The 2016 is an astonishingly complex wine that shows masterful understanding of the variety and its terroir, exhibiting remarkable balance and synergy between extraordinarily concentrated fruit, delicate herbal nuances and immense tannic structure. Only one barrel of this exceptional wine was produced.

Deep ruby-red. A highly complex bouquet evokes red fruit preserves, exotic spices, candied flowers and garrigue, and a vibrant mineral flourish gains power with air. Shows superb power as well as finesse, offering vibrant raspberry, bitter cherry, lavender pastille and spicecake flavors that turn deeper and sweeter on the back half. Shows wonderful delineation and intense mineral lift on a gently tannic finish that hangs on with outstanding, floral- and spice-driven persistence. Made with 100% whole clusters and raised in tronconic concrete tanks. Josh Raynolds1st December 2019
