2022 | Domaine Raymond Usseglio & Fils | Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc

Bright greenish yellow in colour with silver reflections. On the nose, aromas of vanilla and herbs, white tropical fruit, ripe gooseberry and some blossom honey. The juicy palate has good complexity with fine fruit expression and notes of pear on the persistent finish.

Producer Information

Domaine Raymond Usseglio & Fils is an estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the southern Rhône Valley. It is best known for its flagship Châteauneuf-du-Pape rouge, Cuvée Impériale, which is a classic southern Rhône blend made predominantly from Grenache. Francis Usseglio emigrated from Italy to Châteauneuf-du-Pape in 1931 and started winemaking in 1948. His two sons, Pierre and Raymond Usseglio, followed in their father's footsteps and established their own estates – Pierre inherited his father's estate, renaming it Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils, while Raymond founded Domaine Raymond Usseglio & Fils in 1963. Raymond's son, Stéphane, took over the reins of the domaine in 1999. Today the estate stands at 24 hectares (59 acres). The majority of this hectarage lies within the boundaries of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the remainder in the Côtes du Rhône. The domaine produces a range of Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines alongside its signature Cuvée Impériale, including the Les Apotres – a blend of Grenache, with Mourvèdre, Syrah, Cinsaut and Counoise – and the more unusual La Part des Anges, a Mourvèdre-prevalent blend, with smaller quantities of Grenache and Syrah. The domaine also makes two Châteauneuf-du-Pape blanc wines, a Vin de France, Les Amandiers, and a Grenache-dominant Côtes du Rhône red wine, Claux Rouge.
