Winemaker Notes
The 'Cuvée de mon Aïeul' (My Ancestor's Cuvée) is a pure and concentrated wine. The nose is very complex with notes of raspberries, licorice, and spices. It is a powerful wine of great elegance.

About Domaine Pierre Usseglio et Fils
In 1931 an Italian Francis Usseglio left Italy and went to Chateauneuf du Pape in France. Here he got a job at some winegrowers. After the war he got his own property - in 1948. He had two sons Pierre and Raymond. Pierre Usseglio got his father's property and Raymond established another estate. Today the 3. generation is in charge. The sons of Pierre Usseglio, Jean-Pierre and Thierry run Domaine Pierre Usseglio and Stephanie runs Domaine Raymond Usseglio. Today Domaine Pierre Usseglio consists of 21 ha. divided in 15 different parcels in the appellation. Half of the vines are about 60 years old and the rest is about 30 years old.
