The estate and the wine |
|
|
As a prominent force in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Usseglio Raymond & Sons Estate stands out as a coveted producer. Crafting wines that are remarkable for their vibrancy and balance, it outshines many competitors, with few able to match its consistent excellence and sophistication.
Consistently acclaimed by Robert Parker, acquiring these wines has become increasingly challenging: the estate is overwhelmed with demand as soon as a new vintage is released. |

The 2021 Red Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Impériale Vignes Centenaires is nothing short of extraordinary. Sourced from century-old vines rooted in the sandy soils of Pied Long and La Crau, it delivers a wine of remarkable finesse and elegance. Vivid aromas of blood orange, exotic spices, and ripe black cherry lead the way. The palate is impeccably balanced, with a silky texture and a vibrant energy that runs through every layer. The finish is impressively long, leaving a lasting impression of precision and refinement.Hailed as one of the standout wines of the vintage, it has been awarded an outstanding 97/100 by Robert Parker. |
