Raymond Usseglio Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Pure Roussane 2024

. Original price: . Final price: $68.99
Run by Stéphane Usseglio, this estate has gone from strength to strength over the past decade and is now making world-class wines. They recently completed a new state-of-the-art cellar on the northern edge of the village and farm around 45 acres, mostly in the center and northern part of the appellation. The Domaine's emblematic vintage in terms of white wines, this 100% Roussane, made from grapes grown on sandy terroirs exposed to the north, seduces with its remarkable aromatic richness and a memorable saline finish!

If you ever wondered why roussanne is something special in the Southern Rhone, here is the proof. Powerful, concentrated and full-bodied, but with terrific structure and length. Stone fruit flavors. The interaction of fine tannins and salty minerality drives the super-long finish. From a site with sandy soil and a northerly exposure. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.
