2022 Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Chateauneuf Du Pape Cuvee De Mon Aieul
The 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul is deep and concentrated, mingling aromas of spices and bay leaf with notes of dark cherries, wild dark berries and flowers. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and dense, it’s velvety and sappy with delicate, fresh tannins, bright acids and a vibrant, long, dynamic finish. This 100% Grenache Noir, planted on several parcels on galets roulés, safres and calcareous soils, macerated for 40 days and matured for 12 months in foudres, is one of the wines of the vintage at both this address and across the appellation.
