La Création Magnum 2017
Descripción
Raimond Usseglio elabora este tinto con Garnacha procedente tanto de Châteauneuf de Pape como de Lirac. El este y el oeste del Ródano se unen en una creación única con crianza en tinas de terracota toscana, valorada por Parker en nada más y nada menos que 96 puntos. Perfil tremendamente frutal en el que destacan las notas a cerezas y arándanos y un gusto profundo y largo.

Opinión de los críticos
For the 2017 Vin de France le Creation Usseglio combined Grenache from Châteauneuf du Pape and Lirac, maturing the wines in terracotta. The result is a full-bodied wine with oodles of mixed cherry and blueberry fruit. It's silky and long, a pure delight to drink for its sheer deliciousness and hedonism. Like the other limited-edition wines from Usseglio, only 3,000 bottles were produced.
Based on 100% Grenache, the 2017 Vin De France Creation boasts a rocking nose of black fruits, melted licorice, crushed violets, and peppery herbs. Medium to full-bodied, ripe, and opulent on the palate, it’s an incredibly sexy, full-throttle, yet balanced Grenache that has tons of character. Count me in as a fan. I also suspect it will be a smoking value.
