L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

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.

Jeb Dunnuck:

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.
