The estate and the wine |
|
|
A powerhouse in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine Usseglio Raymond & Fils is among the most sought-after estates. Their wines are stunningly vibrant and balanced, crafted with organic and biodynamic principles. Few can match this level of consistency and class.
Long praised by Robert Parker, these wines have become harder to find—the new vintage sells out almost instantly. |

|
An homage to Mourvèdre at 70%, balanced with Grenache and Syrah, the 2021 red Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Part des Anges introduces something new for this vintage: full vinification in new demi-muids and large foudres to create a refined wine with a nice oaky touch from the wine’s youth. The result is breathtaking—right from the start, floral notes, sugared strawberries, and hints of garrigue unfold effortlessly, showing beautiful ripeness and purity. |

|
Hand harvested. Traditional vinification with partial destemming, maceration for 5 weeks. Aged 80% in new barrels, demi-muids and foudres, 20% in concrete vats.
Certified organic and biodynamic by Demeter. |
