Domaine Raymond Usseglio is a 60-acre estate on Route de Courthezon. Raymond is the brother of Pierre Usseglio, whose own estate is nearby. The men are the grandsons of Francis Usseglio, an Italian who moved to Chateauneuf-du-Pape in 1931 and started a winery in 1948. Raymond started his own domaine in 1963 and today it is run by his son Stephane. Robert M. Parker noted some years ago that this domaine’s “traditionally made Chateauneuf du Pape exhibits plenty of the garrigue, herbs de Provence character in its smoky, jammy, cherry flavors.”
One of the most popular red varieties planted, it ripens late and prefers hot dry climates. It probably originated in Spain, where it is still widely grown. Grenache is best known for its use in Southern Rhone wines, including those of Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
