Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Cotes Du Rhone 2022

The Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Côtes du Rhône 2022 is a standout example of the Usseglio family’s dedication to creating exceptional wines in the Southern Rhône. This wine, crafted from a blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, and 20% Cinsault, showcases the perfect balance of ripe fruit, savoury herbs, and complexity. The fruit is sourced from stony and sandy soils in the region, where half of the estate’s vines are over 60 years old, imparting a depth of character to the wine.

Fermented and aged in concrete for 6 months, this wine expresses the purity of its fruit with minimal intervention. With vibrant acidity and dark purple hues in the glass, the 2022 vintage offers aromas of blackberry, fresh flowers, and grilled herbs, creating a complex and inviting bouquet. On the palate, the wine reveals layers of black fruits, lavender, olives, and liquorice, all balanced by the fresh and lively acidity that keeps it beautifully structured. A wine that could easily be mistaken for a mini Châteauneuf-du-Pape, it has the weight and intensity to be savoured now or aged gracefully for years to come.
