The estate and the wine
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.
Wine The 2023 White Châteauneuf-du-Pape Pure Roussanne takes this emblematic Rhône Valley grape to new heights. Sourced from a unique mix of terroirs—north-facing sandy soils and sun-drenched parcels of galets roulés—this White is both powerful and refined. It offers a fresh, beautifully balanced expression with floral notes laced with honey and spice. Ripe but never heavy, it delivers the full generosity of the southern Rhône with precision and clarity. A bold, full-bodied White built for the table—think roasted lobster or duck à l’orange. Rated 94/100 by Parker.
Vinification Hand harvested. Fermentation in casks and demi-muids. Aged for 6 months in the same containers.
