Lot #369. Pierre Usseglio Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée de Mon Aïeul 2000

Description: Consists of 3 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 97 WA.
"One of the more upfront, downright sexy vintages for this cuvee, the 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul has been firing on all cylinders for about a decade now. Giving up terrific notes of spice-box, cured meats, garrigue and mature Grenache fruit, this beauty is full-bodied, rich, concentrated and mouth filling, with serious amounts of fruit and texture. Like the '99, it's fully mature, but should hold nicely, although there's no need to delay gratification. In 2000, this incorporated a new parcel of sandy soils from a site just north of Domaine de la Solitude, in the la Crau lieu-dit. This blend was 85% Grenache, the rest Syrah, Cinsault and Mourvedre raised all in foudre." Wine Advocate Interim, Sep 2015
Provenance: The Danois Cellar
Notes: 1 nicked, 2 lightly torn, very lightly scuffed labels.
