Pierre Usséglio & Fils Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvée de mon Aïeul 2015

Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2015 Cuvée de Mon Aïeul is another magnificent wine from this family estate. As always, it comes from three Grenache parcels: la Serres, la Crau and la Guigasse (each parcel comprises 2 hectares). In 2015 and 2016, this cuvée was not destemmed and was aged mainly in vats, with 15-20% in demi-muids. The 2016 spent 45 days on the skins before being pressed in barrel. This beauty offers the fine, delicate style of the vintage, while presenting full-bodied depth and richness, as well as sensational notes of raspberry, crushed flowers, licorice, Christmas fruitcake and spice.
