Domaine Pierre Usseglio - L'unique 2020
Domaine Usseglio is located in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region in the Rhône Valley. It was created in 1948 by an Italian immigrant, Francis Usseglio, who came to work as a vineyard-worker. The following year, Francis Usseglio produced his wine under his own label. Domaine Usseglio was taken over by his son Pierre Usseglio and is now managed by his sons; Thierry and Jean-Pierre Usseglio, who divide their time between the vineyard and the cellar and have a philosophy of improving quality without compromising the traditional style adopted by their father. The vineyard covers 24 hectares in Châteauneuf-du-Pape (red and white), Lirac, Côtes-du-Rhône and Vin de France.
L'Unique is a blend of Grenache (40%), Syrah (20%), Mourvèdre (20%), Marselan (15%) and Merlot (5%) which has undergone a 25-day maceration in stainless steel and thermo-regulated concrete vats. Aging lasts 6 months in concrete vats before bottling in spring.
