Domaine Pierre Usseglio是法國隆河區教皇新城堡的一家家族小酒莊。1931年一位義大利人Francis Usseglio搬到隆河區定居，並且1949年創立酒莊；他有2個兒子，Pierre接手父親的酒莊，Raymond則以自己的名字另起爐灶。1999年起，Domaine Pierre Usseglio交棒到第三代的Jean-Pierre和 Thierry Usseglio兄弟負責經營。
現在Pierre Usseglio酒莊擁有教皇新城堡村內15個不同區塊，總共24公頃的葡萄園；除了1公頃用於生產白酒之外，其他都是種植紅葡萄品種。本酒莊基本上生產3款教皇新城堡紅酒(某些年份會推出特別品項)和1款教皇新城堡白酒，以及其他隆河區的基本款。
Pierre Usseglio的產品是古典優雅風格，Robert Parker非常讚賞說他們是本區的頂尖酒莊之一：“One of the top estates in Chateauneuf du Pape is that of the two brothers Thierry and Jean-Pierre Usseglio.”, “their wines are always some of my favorites in a vintage.” 並且將本酒莊收錄在其著作的「全世界最偉大的酒莊（The World’s Greatest Wine Estates）」之中！

此為此酒莊的旗艦酒款，使使用100%的60歲以上的 Grenache老藤釀製，有時添加少許其他品種，此酒一半在新橡木桶一半在舊橡木桶中陳年，評分都很高，有的年份近乎滿分100。

The limited cuvee 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve des Deux Freres, which is aged 40% in tank and 60% in one-, two-, and three-year-old barrels as well as large demi-muids, is essentially the same as Mon Aieul, but additional press wine is added. This beefs the wine up to an even more extraordinarily concentrated character. This is another of the Chateauneuf du Papes of the vintage, a wine of remarkable length and prodigious levels of richness. It is no wimpy wine at 16.5% alcohol, but you would never know that from tasting it. Dense purple to the rim, with a huge nose of scorched earth, blackberry and blueberry liqueur, creme de cassis, roasted meat juices, and a hint of Provencal herbs interwoven with licorice and a touch of balsamic, it is voluptuously textured, with striking body, low acidity, and amazing concentration. This fabulous bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape should drink well for 20+ years. |
