Domaine Raymond Usseglio & Fils Cuvee Imperiale Chateauneuf Du Pape 2018 750ml

The Domaine Raymond Usseglio & Fils Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Impériale is a distinguished red wine from the renowned Usseglio estate, crafted as a tribute to the family's winemaking heritage. This cuvée is sourced predominantly from Grenache vines planted in 1902, with a small percentage of other varieties interplanted. The vines are situated in sandy soils with galets roulés (large river stones), contributing to the wine's depth and complexity.

Rich aromas of ripe black cherries, thyme, rose petals, and subtle spice notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a harmonious balance of fruit and tannins, leading to a long, lingering finish. The wine is fermented and aged in concrete tanks to preserve its purity and expression of terroir.
