It has recently expanded with the purchase of seven hectares of vines that Jean-Pierre had previously worked en metayage. The vineyards are split into three separate plots of vineyards in the La Crau, Serres and Le Bedine subzones of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The vineyards are old with an average age of 80 years and are planted with Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc and Roussanne. The grapes from each of the three parcels are fermented separately in concrete cuves before being blended and then and aged for between 18-24 months in immaculately kept oak foudres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083394400455,"sku":"13064","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/5663\/4311\/files\/IMG_2882.jpg?v=1788381439","url":"https:\/\/villagewinemerchant.com\/products\/2023-domaine-pierre-usseglio-et-fils-chateauneuf-du-pape-cuvee-premiere-pierre","provider":"The Village Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
