Tasting notes

Macerated for 35 days and partly destemmed, the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Première Pierre wafts from the glass with aromas of dark cherries, bay leaf, spices and dark wild berries mingled with menthol hints. Medium to full-bodied, enrobing and charming, it's elegant and fresh with a fleshy core of fruit and velvety tannins that lead to a long, fruity and delicate finish. This blend of 65% Grenache Noir, 20% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre, 5% Cinsault and 5% Clairette, matured for 12 months in 60% foudres and 40% used barrels, is a very pretty wine.

About this wine

Pierre Usseglio & Fils produces some of the finest wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the legendary appellation in France's Rhone Valley known for powerful, age-worthy reds. Première Pierre is a full-bodied expression of this terroir, blending Grenache with Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Clairette to capture the essence of the region's distinctive stony plateau. The wine showcases the characteristic velvety texture and fresh character that define the house's winemaking philosophy.

At 15.5% ABV, this is a hot, concentrated wine built for serious food pairing. Serve it alongside beef, lamb, duck, or game birds to experience its full complexity. The wine's structure and depth also make it an excellent match for rich hard cheeses and truffle-based dishes. A sophisticated addition to any fine wine collection, Première Pierre from Pierre Usseglio & Fils represents the heritage and skill of one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's most respected producers.
