Pierre Usseglio, CNDP, Not For You 2016

Pierre Usseglio

Case Format: 1x75cl

Domaine Pierre Usseglio is a family-owned and operated estate and is one of the premier producers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Not For You is an incredibly limited production cuvée of 100% Grenache from a single parcel of vines that are over 100 years old. Intense and concentrated, with dark fruit and more tapenade. Intensity and power, with nice texture and energy. And lovely purity on the finish. Only one barrel of this exceptional wine was produced.

Joe Czerwinski

Finally in the bottle after close to 30 months in barrel, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Not For You—100% Grenache planted in 1909—is a big, oversized wine that somehow retains intricate herbal and fresh-fruit notes. Hints of black tea accent black cherries on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is lush and warm yet finishes with briny intensity and outstanding length. Unfortunately, only a single barrique was produced.

Theres a single barrel of the 2016 Châteauneuf Du Pape Not For You, which is 100% Grenache from the Les Serres lieu-dit from the oldest vines of the estate. It wasn’t destemmed and spent two years in a neutral barrel. It offers an incredible bouquet of kirsch, blackberries, incense, white flowers, garrigue and spice that develops beautifully with time in the glass. Rich, powerful, full-bodied, and concentrated, it nevertheless glides over the palate with no weight, ultra-fine tannins, and a singular, exotic, lengthy style.
