2017 Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Chateauneuf Du Pape Premiere Pierre Blanc
Leading off the wines of this great estate, the 2017 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is primarily Clio rette mixed with small amounts of Grenuche Blanc and Bourboulenc„ brought up 800/0 in tank and 2DE ib in older barrels. This fresh, vibrant white gives up lots of salinity as well as notes of crushed citrus, leafy herbs, arid an undeniable minerality. Medium-bodied. racy, and vibrant. it’s an outstanding white. Drink it over the corning 4-5 years.
When you consider what this estate has accomplished over the past two decades, its easy to include Domaine Pierre Usseglio as not only one of the top addresses in Chtrteauneuf-du-Pape but in all of France 05 well They have been on G sensational roll since igg8 and have yet to put a Foot wrong And that’s apparent with these latest 2015s, which 1 believe are the best wines ever produced here_ In addition to the Chateauneuf-du-Pape releases the estate makes a fabulous Cotes du Rhone and LirCFC, both oF which over-deliver
