Raymond Usseglio ‘La Genesse’ 2021

This wine is our 'coup de coeur'. Not only very limited in number, but the unique way of production makes this wine rare. 100 % Grenache from very old vines that are subsequently raised on terracotta. The grapes come from two plots: on the one hand a sandy substrate with good drainage and on the other a substrate with 'galets roulés'. This rock is characteristic of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and ensures that the stones give off the heat of the day at night. This gives you an even ripening of the grapes. Together with the manual work for this top cuvée, this makes this wine absolutely unique. The wine has scents of cocoa, cassis and southern spices. In the mouth we get a perfect balance between fruit, pepper and spices. Tannins and acids are perfectly balanced and the finish has a finesse that is unseen and lingers for a long time. This wine can be decanted about 30 minutes in advance and served in wide glasses. When you talk about magic and wine, you end up with 'La Création' by Usseglio. health!
