Domaine Pierre Usseglio Cotes du Rhone Rouge 2023
$50.00
Description
This is the mallest cuveé from the Usseglio family with only 300 cases made - Australia gets ¼ of production.
60% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, 20% Cinsault. It opens with aromas of red cherry, raspberry, plum, and wild strawberry, lifted by garrigue, licorice, pepper, and a touch of dried herbs. Compared to L’Unique, this cuvée is slightly deeper, more structured, and more classically southern‑Rhône. On the palate, it is medium‑ to full‑bodied, smooth, and juicy, showing flavors of ripe red and black fruits, cherry compote, plum skin, and sweet spice, supported by soft, rounded tannins and fresh acidity. The texture is generous but never heavy.
