Wine Advocate: 99 / 100 Punkte
"I'm not typically a fan of Grenache aged in new, smaller oak vessels, but the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve des 2 Freres works. It's 100% Grenache aged in new 300-liter barrels for 14-15 months. Vanilla and baking spices make themselves known, but this full-bodied, plush wine offers waves of Christmas cake-like flavors and unimaginable enveloping softness, balanced by decent acids and a long, supple finish. It's considerably fresher than I remember the 2015 being."
J. Dunnuck: 100 / 100 Punkte
"A deeper, darker color compared to the Mon Aieul, the 2016 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Reseve des Deux Freres is also 100% Grenache that was completely destemmed and brought up all in wood, with 20% being new. This cuvée is always a selection of the best lots in the cellar. Crème de cassis, blackberries, white flowers, candle wax, cured meats, street market and spice nuances all soar from the glass of this awesome wine. Deep, incredibly full-bodied, and powerfull, yet also light on its feet and graceful, with elegant tannin, it's an extraordinary wine that's going to benefit from short-term cellaring and cruise for two decades."
J. Livingstone-Learmonth: 4 / 6 Sterne (Leading 2016 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Reds)
"stylish richness, strong oak...
Full red robe. Smoky, soaked cherries aroma, coulis of raspberry and basil present, oak tar in the background. The palate is more marked by the oak charcoal of the oak, holds good stylish richness inside the oak. It ends on a flavour of cooked plums. The assertive oak demands it be left until 2022. It can then regain some typicity over its current cellar influence. 16°. 4,000 b. 100% Gren. 2035-38"
The Wine Cellar Insider: 100 / 100 Punkte
"Deep ruby in color the wine pops with black pepper, garrigue, plums, black cherry and kirsch. The wine is intense, concentrated and lush. The wine is no shy sister, coating your mouth and palate with layers of painted on dark, sweet spicy, fresh dark red fruits. The finish really stick with you with its sensuous textures for close to 60 seconds! This is just mind-blowing juice!"
Vinous: 96 / 100 Punkte
"Deep shimmering ruby. A complex, intensely perfumed bouquet displays candied red and blue fruits, vanilla and exotic qualities; potpourri and dark chocolate nuances build in the glass. Sweet and expansive in the mouth, offering mineral-laced black raspberry, cherry compote, candied lavender and fruitcake flavors that show superb definition and spicy bite thanks to a late peppery flourish. Tightens up slowly on a strikingly long, floral-driven finish framed by fine-grained, steadily building tannins."

Das Weingut
Ganz bescheiden liegt das Weingut in Chateauneuf du Pape in der Nähe des Schlosses. Ebenso bescheiden gibt sich die Familie Usseglio. Die Weine jedoch präsentieren sich ganz außerordentlich und herausragend. Nicht zuletzt die enorm geringen Erträge, die man sich auferlegt und die traditionelle Weinbereitung machen das Weingut zu einem der Stars der Apellation.
Seinen Ursprung hat das Weingut 1948, als der italienische Einwanderer Francis Usseglio 8 ha Weinland in Chateauneuf erwarb und ein Jahr später seinen ersten Wein abfüllte. Sein Sohn Pierre vergrößerte das Gut, das heute ca. 24 ha umfasst und von dessen Söhnen Jean-Pierre und Thierry Usseglio geleitet wird. Viele der Grenache-Rebstöcke sind heute ca. 80 Jahre alt und ein unschätzbares Kapital für die Qualität der Usseglio-Weine.
