It&#8217;s a more serious, straight, nicely structured wine compared to the L&#8217;Unique cuv\u00e9e and has beautiful black raspberry and hints of cassis fruit, plenty of pepper, garrigue, and floral notes, medium body, beautiful balanced, and sweet tannins. It&#8217;s another charming, beautiful wine to enjoy over the coming 4-6 years.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nUnquestionably one of the top estates in France is that of brothers Thierry and Jean-Pierre Usseglio, whose estate is located just north of the village of Ch\u00e2teauneuf du Pape, on the route to Orange. They pull from roughly 60 hectares of vines and the lineup has grown to include a Vin de France l\u2019Unique, which replaces their C\u00f4tes Du Rh\u00f4ne, as well as a terrific Lirac. Looking at their Ch\u00e2teauneuf du Papes, the classic cuv\u00e9e is always a Grenache heavy blend that include 15-20% each of Syrah and Mourv\u00e8dre, as well as a small amount of Cinsault. This cuv\u00e9e is normally mostly destemmed (the 2017 has around 30% stems) and is brought up in a mix of used barrels. The Ch\u00e2teauneuf du Pape Cuv\u00e9e Mon A\u00efeul always comes from the La Serres, La Crau, and La Guigasse lieux-dits and is 100% Grenache. It can vary from being completely destemmed or not at all depending on the vintage, and while past vintages saw a touch of new oak, it\u2019s raised all in used demi-muids today. They also produce a tiny amount of their Ch\u00e2teauneuf du Pape Reserve des Deux Freres and it\u2019s always been a more modern styled cuv\u00e9e in the past, but the amount of new oak has been cut dramatically in recent vintages, with the 2016 only seeing 20% new barrels. This cuv\u00e9e is always a cellar selection of the top lots in any vintage, and it\u2019s unfortunately not made in either 2017 or 2018. Lastly, and only in great vintages, they\u2019ll pull out a single barrel from the Les Serres lieu-dit that&#8217;s from the oldest vines of the estate. This \u201cNot For You\u201d cuv\u00e9e has been released in 2007, 2010, and 2016, and it\u2019s Grenache at its most sexy, flamboyant, and over the top.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jeb Dunnuck (2018)<br \/>\n\u00a9 2020 Jeb Dunnuck | Reprinted with Permission<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"fusion-button voir-plus-btn\">Voir plus<\/button><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Jeb Dunnuck (2018)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2018 Domaine Pierre Usseglio &#038; Fils Lirac The 2018 Lirac  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[],"portfolio_skills":[],"portfolio_tags":[83],"class_list":["post-3786","avada_portfolio","type-avada_portfolio","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","portfolio_tags-lirac-rouge"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.domaine-usseglio-pierre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio\/3786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.domaine-usseglio-pierre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.domaine-usseglio-pierre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/avada_portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.domaine-usseglio-pierre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.domaine-usseglio-pierre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3786"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.domaine-usseglio-pierre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio\/3786\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3889,"href":"https:\/\/www.domaine-usseglio-pierre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/avada_portfolio\/3786\/revisions\/3889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.domaine-usseglio-pierre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.domaine-usseglio-pierre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_category?post=3786"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_skills","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.domaine-usseglio-pierre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_skills?post=3786"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.domaine-usseglio-pierre.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_tags?post=3786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
