## Description

**Domaine Pierre Usseglio**

We produce a traditional red Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Half of our vines are over 65 years old, and the other half are around 40 years old. Yields are very low, roughly 20 to 25 hectoliters per hectare, depending on the vintage. The harvest is always done by hand, and sorting remains selective. The grapes are destemmed, and the vatting process lasts 25 to 30 days.
The wines are then aged, 50% in oak barrels for 12 days and 50% in concrete vats. From there, we obtain powerful, round wines with pronounced aromas of red fruit and spice. The 2016 reds are characterized by very crisp, clean, intense, and complex aromas. Depending on where they grew and their terroir, Grenache-based wines release aromas of raspberry, liquorice, garrigue, candied ginger, black fruit, and citrus. The blend of the various permitted grape varieties gives rise to a magical complexity, the subtle result of the interplay between the inherent characteristics of each variety and the influence of the terroir.
