CHâTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE 2009, DOMAINE PIERRE USSEGLIO

PRODUCER NOTES

Francis Usseglio left Italy in 1931 to work at Chateauneuf du Pape in France. He humbly learned from local winegrowers and developed a passion for wine. In 1948, after the war, he decided to acquire his own property and had two sons - Pierre and Raymond. Pierre Usseglio inherited his father's property and Raymond established another estate. Today the third generation is in charge. The sons of Pierre Usseglio, Jean-Pierre and Thierry run Domaine Pierre Usseglio and Stephanie runs Domaine Raymond Usseglio.

The Estate covers 21 hectares divided in 15 different parcels in the appellation. Half of the vines are about 60 years old and the rest has an average age of 30 years old. Grenache is the main grape.

Thierry and Jean-Pierre have won high praises for their top wines, which are usually robust, full bodied and richly textured, with notes of spicy cherries, earth, pepper and black raspberry.
