Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2007
Made from the same blend as the 2006, the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape possesses a dense ruby/purple hue as well as wonderfully sweet aromas of blue and black fruits, underbrush, truffles, incense, and garrigue. It is full-bodied, opulent, fleshy, powerful and substantial in the mouth. The Usseglios told me they had a couple of lots that went into this wine that hit nearly 17% natural alcohol! This was not caused by spiking high temperatures (which the Southern Rhone did not experience in 2007), but rather by the extraordinarily low yields and severe drought conditions that existed from spring through the end of September.

Beaitifully evolved flavors, with great presence on the brooding finish. 2007 was a great vintage, and here you can really sense that.

In our blind Chateauneuf tasting, which turned out to be all Pierre Usseglio, this was my number seven of eight and the groups' number five.

Yeah, not my thing. Too manipulated and worked. Pleasant enough but nothing exciting or vibrant about it.

Magnum. Fresh, clean and rich. Totally a point now. Definately superior quality compared to 75cl bottle.

Really drinking well. Kirsch, garrigue, lavender. Really long finish. No rush to drink these for well stored bottles.

This wine was singing to me and reminds me of why I love CDP. Perfectly balanced with the right amount of pepper and spice and fruit. This wine has at least 5-10 years left in the tank

Huge nose of Provençal herbs. Absolutely gorgeous! Balsam, herbs, cherry, harmonious with a nice long finish.
