"Throughout the southern Rhone,2007 is the greatest vintage I have tasted in my thirty years working in that region".
"As for Chateauneuf du Pape,it is the vintage of my lifetime for this region,and I don't say that lightly.These 2007s will also be very long-lived,given their extraordinary balance".
Robert Parker (The Wine Advocate. #179. October 2008).
2007 was a stellar vintage for Chateauneuf du Pape and for the domaine of Pierre Usseglio & Fils.Their flagship wine "Cuvee de Mon Aieul" was awarded 100 Points by Robert Parker in this year.The quality of the wine has been transformed since the two brothers Thierry and Jean-Pierre Usseglio took over the domaine in the late 1990's:-
"This estate has emerged as a legitimate superstar in Chateauneuf du Pape,largely because of the efforts of two young brothers,Thierry and Jean-Pierre Usseglio.Subscribers need to wake up as to what is going on,as this is one of the most exciting estates in Chateauneuf du Pape".
Robert Parker. (Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide. Sixth Edition).
"The 4,400-case blend of 80% Grenache and the rest Syrah,Mouvedre,and Cinsault,the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape boasts a dense plum/purple color as well as a wonderfully sweet nose of black truffles,incense,blue and black fruits,roasted herbs,and earth.The wine is full-bodied and pure with fresh acids,silky tannins,and a voluptuous mouthfeel.Drink this beauty over the next 10-12 years.Brothers Jean-Pierre and Thierry Usseglio have been accomplishing amazing things.To reiterate,the 2007s are the most profound wines Thierry and Jean-Pierre have ever produced in Chateauneuf du Pape,as evidenced by the 2007s,the greatest wines they have yet produced".
