Description
60% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre, 10% Cinsault. Lirac is South West from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, just across the river where the Usseglio’s have an amazing parcel of 40yr od vines. This wine undergoes a temperature controlled fermentation before being aged in a mix of concrete vats and demi muids (600L oak barrels).
Description
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.

What The Critics Say
Of the '20: A blend of 50% Grenache and the rest Cinsault and other permitted varieties, the 2020 Lirac is a fruit bomb done beautifully, offering tons of red and dark fruits, notes of peppery garrigue, medium body, ripe tannins, and a great finish. Fabulous stuff, I’d be thrilled to drink a bottle any time over the coming 5-7 years. The 2020 Lirac is a terrific and makes the difference between 2020 and 2021 clear as day. Ripe black raspberries, licorice, herbes de Provence, and peppery notes define this beauty, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a round, layered mouthfeel and a great finish.
