Key words: Power / Elegance / Complexity / For keeping

The wine: Only the oldest vines (75-90 years old ) from the Usseglio family are included in the final blend of this superb vintage. Distinguished by its great concentration, it is a pure and silky wine evolving at first on noble black fruits such as cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant. Then, an intense power develops on the palate and aromas of cocoa, pepper and garrigue appear before the whole ends in a sublime length. Fine and deep, here is a VERY great Châteauneuf-du-Pape capable of evolving brilliantly over 20 years!

The estate: The Châteauneuvoise history of the Usseglio family dates back to 1931 , the year during which Francis Usseglio left Italy to settle in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and work there as an agricultural worker. In 1948, the latter had the opportunity to exploit 8 hectares of vines in sharecropping and therefore decided to create his own estate. His son Pierre will take over and continue to develop the family business. Now comprising 39 hectares including 25 from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 6 from Lirac, 6 from Côtes-du-Rhône and 2 from AOC Vin de France, the vineyard is today managed by Pierre's 2 sons: Jean-Pierre and Thierry Usseglio. The two brothers look after a very beautiful heritage of vines, half of which are over 65 years old, as well as a wide variety of terroirs including the famous rolled pebbles but also clay-limestone and sandy soils. The estate has today become a benchmark farm in the region and all production enjoys a very high quality level thanks to superb work in the vineyard and in the cellars.
