Robert Parker 他個人最重要著作-The World’s Greatest Wine Estates (全球最偉大的酒莊)一書中， 盛讚道：『In many ways, this estate symbolizes the dramatic surge in quality that Chateauneuf-du-Pape has witnessed over the last decade, the result of the younger generation taking an existing vineyard, augmenting it through meticulous purchases of very fine plots of old vines, and introducing two new cuvees of truly spectacular wines.』–愛好教皇新堡高貴不貴頂尖酒莊必要喝過的酒… (7月25日海運冷藏到貨的品項)
西元1931年父親 Francis Usseglio 從義大利搬到法國隆教皇谷地開始定居,展開家族式的葡萄園種植。在西元1948年之間終於建立了 Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils, 他共有兩個兒子 Pierre 和 Raymond，Raymond 後來自創 Domaine Raymond Usseglio, 而Pierre 則繼承了父親的酒莊 — Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils。 葡萄園都是非常優質的老藤葡萄，平均葡萄樹齡在75~87年之間的老藤, 但產量極低，所以釀出的葡萄酒非常集中、強烈。以前父親都將Domaine Pierre Usseglio大部分葡萄酒都賣給了批發商，非常地可惜,自從西元1999年Thierry 和Jean-Pierre Usseglio這對勤奮的兄弟全面接手酒莊後，不斷努力於品質的提昇， 除了導入新設備來更新酒窖之外，多處尋找優越頂尖的葡萄園，目前擁有約24公頃、分為17個區塊的頂尖葡萄園，釀酒方式堅持相當傳統，全部手工採收篩選去梗後，在培養過程中, 採用225公升木桶中陳年15~18個月，然後再放入舊的布根地小型橡木桶中陳年6個月,然後不經澄清和過濾直接就裝瓶,稱為（The Cuvee De Cinquantenaire）! 直到今天Jean-Pierre 和 Thierry Usseglio，不斷地將酒質精益求精,得到完美的高分也一點都不令人意外!! 屆時酒價要翻幾番恐怕又得讓人望酒興嘆了~~
無怪乎 Robert Parker 不但年年給予極高評價，更將 Domaine Pierre Usseglio 這家酒莊編列入其他個人最重要著作-The World’s Greatest Wine Estates (全球最偉大的酒莊)一書中， 盛讚道：『In many ways, this estate symbolizes the dramatic surge in quality that Chateauneuf-du-Pape has witnessed over the last decade, the result of the younger generation taking an existing vineyard, augmenting it through meticulous purchases of very fine plots of old vines, and introducing two new cuvees of truly spectacular wines.』
The Wines of Domaine Pierre Usseglio Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2008 Offer ( Composed of 80% Grenache and the rest Syrah, Mourvedre, and Cinsault )
Domaine Pierre Usseglio CNDP 2008Wine Spectator Tasting Notes: Ripe but well-harnessed by fine-grained tobacco and roasted vanilla-tinged tannins, which carry the plum sauce, braised fig and mulled cherry notes along. There’s a lingering licorice note on the finish. Drink now through 2023. 2,000 cases made.
Robert Parker Tasting Notes: One of the finest 2008 Chateauneuf du Papes Composed of 80% Grenache and the rest Syrah, Mourvedre, and Cinsault, it possesses a dark ruby/purple color, surprisingly intense fruit, lots of garrigue, pepper and spice box, a medium to full-bodied texture and a heady finish. Performing better out of bottle than it did last year in the cellars
深紅色澤，帶有麝香櫻桃和黑醋栗與茴香香料香氣複雜的交錯著。深色漿果風味伴隨著紅色野莓、藍莓香氣，尾韻悠長散發出蜜棗甘草和薰衣草的華麗風味，天鵝絨般的單寧卻釋出驚人的酒體力量
One of my favorite stops on my trips to the southern Rhone is at Domaine Pierre Usseglio where brothers Jean-Pierre and Thierry Usseglio have accomplished special things. A new state-of-the-art tasting room has been added, somewhat unusual in Chateauneuf du Pape where little has changed in the three decades I have been tasting there. However, the small, discrete Usseglio tasting room would never be compared with tasting rooms that exist in Bordeaux and California.
