Description
A classic Châteauneuf with dense blackcurrant and
kirsch fruit, supported by notes of ripe plum, Provence
herb and graphite. Half of the vines are located in
the norther and eastern sectors, with sandier soils,
the rest a little further south and west, and with
correspondingly more clay and galets roulés evidenced.
Stéphane feels that the latter soils were better suited to
the 2020-2026.

Critics reviews
Joe Czerwinski 91/100
Lacking the concentrated richness of the 2015, Usseglio's 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape is nevertheless a solid effort, boasting a blend of cherry and cola notes that would make Dr. Pepper proud. Full-bodied and velvety, it picks up hints of licorice on the finish.Joe Czerwinski - 31/08/2018
