Intense and brilliant garnet red. |

Magnificent aromas of black fruits and wild berries, blackberry, blackcurrant and raspberry underlined by light mentholated and peppery notes. |

Ample and rich with a supple tannic structure, this wine offers a pure and delicately spiced texture, a persistent and silky finish. |

The estate and the wine |
|
|
A prominent figure in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Raymond Usseglio estate is one of the most sought-after in the region. Producing wines with dazzling complexity and balance, it stands out from its peers, as few can match its consistency and elegance.
Highly praised by the Parker Guide, where it is a perennial favorite, the estate's wines are notoriously hard to come by. New vintages are eagerly snapped up as soon as they are released. |
|
| | |
|
With a majority of Grenache (80%) and minimal oak aging, the 2020 Red Châteauneuf-du-Pape showcases pure, fresh fruit both on the nose and palate. The full-bodied, juicy structure is complemented by the vintage's generosity, offering silky tannins and a long, harmonious texture. A classic Châteauneuf that is enjoyable in its youth and will also develop beautifully over the coming years. |
