Domaine Serguier Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Revelation 2017
About the Producer
Domaine Serguier emerged in the late 19th century under the direction of Hippolyte Serguier. Today Daniel Nury and his wife Aurélie represent the fourth generation of the winery. They manage things from their intimate tasting room in the center of Chateauneuf, which is connected to a small, hollowed out cave where the upcoming vintages are racked and vinified under Daniel's meticulous supervision.
When Daniel took over in 1993 they were still providing fruit to Pierre Usseglio, and it wasn't until their contract ended that he started using fruit from their 7.2 hectares in Chateauneuf to produce their own wine. Most of the grapes are destemmed and then aged in a combination of mostly used French oak and around 30% new French oak.
Domaine Serguier can be enjoyed young, but shows best with 3-5 years of age. Great vintages such as the 2016 can easily push 10+ years aging if you'd like to keep a few in the cellar.
