Domaine Raymond Usseglio Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Impériale 2022 is a vivid, finely etched Grenache-led wine, layering dark cherry, plum and wild berry fruit with hints of dried herbs and subtle floral tones. The palate is silky yet firmly framed, with refreshing acidity and polished tannins driving a long, savory, mineral-tinged finish. Concrete élevage keeps the fruit pure and focused, giving this powerful vintage impressive clarity and poise.
Herb-crusted roast lamb; Duck breast with cherry jus; Wild mushroom and rosemary braise

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.
