Fragments is such a cool name for this wine. Châteauneuf-du-Pape is almost always a blend, so each component is a fragment of the whole. Together, they meld into something magical. Stephane Usseglio has taken grenache, syrah, mourvedre, counoise and clairette as his fragments. The end result is a gorgeous mosaic of black fruits, sandalwood, licorice and chalky tannin. He ages the wine in concrete eggs and clay amphorae, building texture upon the fruit without hiding its purity behind oak. This is a wine of exceptional clarity, complexity and depth, showing exactly why the Usseglio name carries such weight in this historic region.
