Pierre Usséglio & Fils Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvée de mon Aïeul 2019

One of the best wines of the vintage, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée De Mon Aïeul is made entirely of Grenache from different terroirs (one sand, one clay and one limestone) that has been 50% destemmed and aged in older demi-muids. It reminds me of the 2007 with its incredible perfume of ripe black raspberry, strawberry, flowery incense, pepper and Provençal garrigue. On the palate, it has full-bodied richness, a round, expansive texture, magnificent tannins and a stunning finish. A wine of incredible purity, precision and elegance, but also of remarkable power and opulence.
