Domaine Pierre Usseglio

Thierry Usseglio and consulting winemaker Baptiste Olivier have established a close working relationship since the 2005 vintage, crafting opulent wines with a modern flair. This family estate currently covers 25 hectares of vines in the appellation of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, of which 1.5 are planted with white varieties. Although their white offerings are pleasant, they don’t possess the same depth and complexity as the reds do. Immensely popular in the gastronomic sector is the entry-level red Châteauneuf-du-Pape, as it is made in an early drinking style, paired with the ability to improve in bottle. Especially in their youth, the various high-end cuvées can be very intense and concentrated, sometimes bordering over-concentration. But a recent magnum of the Cuvée de Mon Aïeul from the flamboyant 2007 vintage showed perfectly balanced and utterly delicious. This year though, I particularly enjoyed their vibrant and refreshing Cuvée N°18, a blend of the appellation's 18 permitted varieties, which were vinified in one entire co-fermentation and aged for one year in amphorae.
