Raymond Usseglio Le Peche Originel *Natural*

Ancestral grape variety crus from the Valley of Rhone, this cuvée 100% Cinsault is from old vines of sand planted in 1961-1962. Fully vinified in concrete tanks and without sulfur added to preserve all the finesse of its grape variety and its land.

Both youthful and mature in personality, this is a striking Rhone red that combines considerable generosity with an intense floral and licorice character, plus a slew of ripe tannins. Very striking, expressive and well made. A pure cinsault from vines planted at the beginning of the 1960s. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.
