The estate and the wine |
|
|
A leading name in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Raymond Usseglio & Fils is among the region’s most sought-after estates. Renowned for producing wines of remarkable depth and balance, it consistently stands out, achieving a level of refinement and reliability that sets it apart from many of its peers.
The estate has long been a favorite of Robert Parker, earning consistent praise for its exceptional quality. Demand is so high that each vintage sells out quickly, leaving little opportunity for those who don’t act fast. |
