Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de mon Aieul, Domaine Pierre Usseglio

Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de mon Aieul

Description

MAGNUM. All Grenache, all whole cluster and from parcels in the lieux-dits of La Guigasse, Le Crau and Les Serres, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul has evolved beautifully since I tasted it last year, showing vibrant floral and tea-like notes, raspberry fruit and hints of licorice. It's full-bodied, rich and velvety, with overtones of spice cake on the long, crisp finish. Tasting it, I was surprised to find out what the alcohol level was, because it showed no obvious heat - a testament to how much else is going on here. (97 pts, Joe Czerwinski)
