Domaine Pierre Usseglio Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul 2020
This 2020 Cuvee de Mon Aieul from Domaine Pierre Usseglio et Fils is composed entirely of old‑vine Grenache from three distinct lieux‑dits, vinified intact and matured in used demi‑muids, offering a concentrated yet elegant expression of Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape. Aromas of raspberries, blackberries, spice and floral accents are framed by a plush, powerful mouthfeel that remains refined and balanced.
