| Description: | Decanter 95 Points - "Domaine Pierre Usseglio was founded in 1948 by Francis Usseglio, who had left Italy to work in the Chteauneuf-du Pape vineyards. Today the domaine owns 39ha of vines, of which 24ha are devoted to the red Chteauneuf. Grapes are harvested and selected manually with yields as low as 20-25hl/ha according to vintage conditions, mostly destemmed then fermented separately, and the wine is aged 12 months, half in oak foudre and half in concrete tank. Matt Walls: There is oak behind the lively, fresh fruit. Very fine, well balanced, fruity and easy to love, with great concentration and length. Will be very good in time the balance, freshness, ripeness is all there. Long finish. Tanguy Martin: Nose is intense and toasty, generous on the palate with a great concentration and a savoury finish. David Round: Open, attractive, complex nose, cinnamon, strawberry and cocoa. Fleshy, opulent and pure, multi-layered core of fruit.". Jeb Dunnuck 94 Points - "Mostly Grenache yet with 15% each of Syrah and Mourvdre, with 10% Cinsault, the 2019 Chteauneuf Du Pape boasts a vivid purple hue as well as a complex bouquet of red, blue, and black fruits as well as notes of flowers, spice, and peppery garrigue. It actually reminds me of the Cuve Mon Aeul with its ripe yet elegant profile. Full-bodied, balanced, and lengthy, its going to offer loads of pleasure over the coming 10-15 years." |
