2021 Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Chateauneuf Du Pape Cuvee De Mon Aieul

Up with the biggest, baddest wines in the vintage, the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Mon Aïeul (100% Grenache) sports a deeper ruby/plum hue to go with gorgeous aromatics of blackberries, roasted garrigue, black licorice, and meaty, spicy nuances. Not destemmed and aged all in used demi-muids, this medium to full-bodied, balanced, nicely concentrated 2021 can be drunk any time over the coming 15 years. It’s an incredible success in the vintage.
