Pierre Usseglio Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée de Mon Aïeul 2019
Pierre Usseglios's Cuvée de Mon Aieul (Grandfather) is from 75-90-year-old Grenache vines giving great power and depth to this stunning wine
This excellent estate was founded in 1948 and is now run by Pierre’s sons Jean-Pierre and Thierry, they farm 24 acres in Chateauneuf with some vines with exceptional age. The Cuvée de Mon Aieul (Grandfather) is from 75-90-year-old Grenache vines sourced from three sites bought by their grandfather in 1948, La Crau, les Bédines and les Serres. The old vines give great power and being aged in concrete tanks accentuates the depth and a super ripe dark cherry nose and palate with spicy figs and plums with serious length, very impressive. Drinking now with some time in a decanter but this will keep for ages.
