97+ Points, Jeb Dunnuck "The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Réserve Des Deux Freres is almost all Grenache but includes a tiny parcel of very old vine Serine Syrah from Charbonniere. This deep purple-hued effort boasts a killer nose of blackberries, cassis, spicy wood, graphite, and ground pepper, among other Provençal nuances. Pure, full-bodied, and flawlessly balanced, it has building yet perfectly ripe tannins, the vintage’s more elegant, streamlined style, and a great finish. It's beautifully done and will benefit from just a few years of bottle age and keep for 15 to 20 years."
“A wine that's somehow dessert-rich, yet savory and not overbearing, with a soft, almost pillowy impression on the palate.” - Robert Parker.com
Description
50% of the wine is aged in demi-muids and 50% in new barrels that have been used for two to three wines. Ample and concentrated, this cuvée develops aromas of black fruits and licorice, as well as smoky notes. The texture is smooth and the tannic structure requires a few years of aging.

ABOUT THIS BRAND
Domaine Pierre Usseglio
"Unquestionably one of the top estates in France." - Jeb Dunnuck
One of the leading estates in Châteauneuf du Pape is unquestionably Domaine Pierre Usseglio, which is run by Thierry and Jean-Pierre Usseglio, with the next generation of Gregory Usseglio now working full-time with the estate as well. The lineup has shifted slightly over the years, with their Côtes du Rhône being replaced by the L’Unique label, which is released as a Vin de France. They produce a terrific Lirac, both red and white. Looking at the Châteauneuf du Pape releases, the classic red and white are now released under the label Premiere Pierre, and they’ve added the new Clos Pierre Usseglio 18 Cépages, which includes all 18 of the permitted grape varieties, red and white. The Cuvée Mon Aïeul and Reserve des Deux Freres remain unchanged and are two brilliant, yet dramatically different, expressions of Grenache.
