This full-bodied, tannic, rich, ageworthy 2003 will benefit from 1-2 years of bottle age, and drink well for 12-14 years. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne cannot say enough about the extraordinary qualitative revolution that has quietly taken place at this well-known domaine north of the village of Chateauneuf du Pape. While father Pierre is still on the premises, providing a wealth of historical information about the vineyards, his two sons, Jean-Pierre and Thierry, have introduced two extra-special cuvees, pushing this estate into the top echelon of Chateauneuf du Pape producers. This domaine is notorious for incredibly low yields (in 2003 yields were 25-28 hectoliters per hectare) as well as traditional winemaking. They now have a small, 1-hectare plot of vin de pays planted with Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Alicante, and Merlot. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWine Advocate Issue #156\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037252669679,"sku":"1046","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/usseglio_cdp2009-LBL_7da81261-9c95-4469-8ece-be03de9e00ec.png?v=1772600323","url":"https:\/\/vinsrare.com\/products\/2003-pierre-usseglio-chateauneuf-du-pape","provider":"Vins Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
