Domaine Pierre Usseglio et Fils 2019 Cuvée de mon Aïeul Grenache (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)

Editors' Choice

Typically a standout even amongst the best of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, this monumental bottling is sourced from 75- to 90-year-old Grenache planted in a diversity of pebbly, sandy and clay soils. Fermented partially in whole clusters, it offers black-cherry and raspberry flavors that are herculean in ripeness yet silken and deft, lifted by streaks of salt, crushed stone and smoke. A stunner in youth, the wine will likely improve through 2035 and hold further. Anna Lee C. Iijima
