Chateauneuf du Pape 2016 "La Part des Anges" - Raymond Usseglio
Late ripening and capricious, Mourvedre is certainly one of the most exacting varietals grown in the South of France, especially when it is situated, as here, at the northern limit of its growing region.This cuvee benefits from a rather unique elevage in order to complement the powerful tannins of the varietal. When the wine is put in barrel for the elevage, and part of its volume evaporates, we call it La Part des Anges (The Angels’ Share). La Part des Anges is a unique cuvee for a Chateauneuf-du-Pape because the Mourvèdre dominates the blend at 70%, complemented by 20% Grenache and a little Syrah (10%.) Count on carafing if you wish to drink this cuvee before its first 2-3 years of laying down.
Unfiltered wine.
