Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Cuvée De Mon Aïeul Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2007
The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Mon Aieul (100% Grenache) represents a naked expression of the three vineyards planted on sand, clay, and limestone. There are 1,700 cases of this 2007, which offers a surreal tasting experience. Soaring aromas of blueberries, black raspberries, licorice, roasted herbs, and grilled meats are followed by a wine of superb intensity, purity, multi-dimensions, and an endless finish. It should be drinkable when released, and age effortlessly for 15-20 years. It reminded me of the utterly profound 2003, with more freshness and depth. Robert Parker

Beast mode, this is always over the top and grandiose and wears it well in 2007 just at the limit of ripeness being too ripe.

2007 Grenache. I’m a believer occasionally when these G blends work like this. Wish more had this pure G magic. This has it.

In our blind Chateauneuf tasting, which turned out to be all Pierre Usseglio, this was near the top of eight for me and the groups' number one. I preferred the '03.

Super charged and hugely concentrated red and dark berries are balanced to perfection by pure and fresh acidity, spicy minerality, sous bois and dried herb flavors. Long.

Silky and seamless but warm. Brown sugar. Bourbon cherries. Not a ton of length on the finish. Good drink. Nothing profound...yet.
