Domaine Raymond Usseglio Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Imperiale 2019 is a deeply flavored, old-vine Grenache showing vivid raspberry and kirsch layered with cherry liqueur, floral lift, and subtle savory herbs over a discreet earthy core. The palate is concentrated yet poised, with seamless acidity and remarkably fine, silky tannins carrying a very long, spice-tinged finish. A touch tight today, it promises impressive nuance and elegance with further cellaring.
Herb-roasted lamb shoulder; Duck breast with cherry glaze; Wild mushroom and truffle risotto

La Cuvée Impériale from Domaine Raymond Usseglio is a Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape built largely from century‑old Grenache vines—very low yields produce a dense, elegant wine that’s typically vinified and aged in concrete, bottled unfiltered, and prized for its perfumed red‑berry and floral aromatics layered with garrigue, licorice and black‑olive notes; it’s powerful yet refined and shows long aging potential.
