Stephane Usseglio, son of Raymond, has taken over the domaine in the last few years, and he with his oenologist Xavier Vignon, are pushing to reach the potential of the familyโs holdings, some of the best of Chateauneuf. Half his vines are situated near the road in the lieu-dit โLa Crauโ and the other half on the hill across the road from the actual ruins of the new castle of the Pope. He has the good fortune to have very old vines. The average age for his Chateauneuf vines is between 50 & 60 years old, and the cuvee Imperiale is 100-year old vines. We are now taking all of the Roussanne pur that he can vinify for us. The Cuvee Girard is bottled exclusively for Peter Weygandt and is 80% Grenache with Mourvedre and Cinsault filling out the blend. Considered one of the top producers in the appellation, Usseglio puts out consistently stellar wine every vintage.
