Feature

Tasting Note

Winemaking Winery

An old grape variety of the Rhône Valley, this 100% Cinsault vintage originates from old sand vines planted in 1961-1962.

It is exclusively vinified in concrete vats without added sulfur, preserving the finesse of the grape and its terroir.

Winery

Domaine Raymond Usseglio was created by Stephane Usseglio's grandfather, Francis Usseglio, an Italian immigrant who emigrated in 1931 from Piemont in Italy.

The estates owns more than 33 parcels in various lieux dits of Châteauneuf including La Crau, Terres Blanches, Le Trequoys, etc. 

Stephane then started the process of certification to organic and biodynamic viticulture back in 2010, which was completed in 2015.

Soil management is extremely important with strategies adapted to each parcel specificity; hoeing and ridging, spiking and tilling are performed across the year to favor the aeration and the life in the soils.
