2016 Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Chateauneuf Du Pape Reserve Des Deux Freres
A deeper, darker color compared to the Mon Aieul, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve des Deux Freres is also 10090 Grenache that was completely destemmed and brought up all in wood, with 2005 being new. This
cuvée is always a selection of the best lots in the cellar. Crème de cassis. blackbernies, white flowers, candle wax, cured meats, street market and spice nuances all soar from the glass of this awesome wine. Deep, incredibly full-bodied, and powerful, yet also light on its feet and graceful, with elegant tannin, it’s an extraordinary wine that’s going to benefit from short-term cellaring and cruise for two decades.
Over the post two decades, its easy to include Domaine Pierre Usseglio as not only ane af the top addresses in Châteauneuf-du-Pape but in all of France as well They have been on a sensational roll since 1998 and have yet éo put a foot wrong. And that 5 apparent with these latest 20165, which l heleve are the best wines ever produced here. in addition to the Chôteauneuf-du-Pape releases. the estate makes a fabulous Côtes du Rhône end Lirac, bath of which over-deliver.
