2021 Domaine Raymond Usseglio & Fils Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Girard [JD91]

Producer: Domaine Usseglio Raymond & Fils  Region: Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France  Blend: 90% Grenache, 4% Mourvèdre, 4% Syrah, 2% Cinsault, 2% Counoise Year: 2021  Jeb Dunnuck, 91 Points  "The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Girard is slightly more lifted and perfumed than the classic cuvée, and while I usually find the Cuvée Girard to be a step up over the base cuvée, that’s not the case in 2020. Red and blue fruits, iron, candied violets, and pepper all emerge on the nose, and this medium to full-bodied, floral, perfumed effort is going to keep for 10-12 years."  Alcohol: 14.5%  Biodynamic  *Price and availability in store may vary.
