The estate and the wine |
|
|
A major name in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Usseglio Raymond & Fils is one of the region’s most sought-after estates. Known for crafting wines with remarkable depth and balance, it consistently outshines many of its peers—few can match its level of precision, elegance, and unwavering quality.
Long praised by the Parker Guide, the estate’s cuvées are becoming increasingly hard to secure. As soon as a new vintage is released, demand surges and allocations disappear fast. |

Elegant and mineral-driven, the 2023 White Châteauneuf-du-Pape Pure Clairette opens with refined notes of fennel and anise. This is a white of remarkable depth—both vibrant and mouthwatering—yet broad on the palate, combining a delicate toasty note from the lees with the crystalline purity of the grape. It’s a wine of real emotion: airy, refined, and built to age for up to 10 years. A true table wine to savour slowly. Rated 95/100 by our Selection Committee. |
