$59.00
Sold Out

Cuvée Girard is Raymond Usseglio’s classically styled Châteauneuf-du-Pape, sourced from parcels across the appellation, including old-vine Grenache on sandy soils near La Crau, Mourvèdre from the clay-rich northern sectors, and Syrah from cooler, limestone-influenced zones. The vineyards are farmed organically, and the domaine favors gentle extractions and aging in neutral vats and large casks.

The 2022 vintage is supple and generous, showing ripe black cherry, raspberry liqueur, garrigue and warm spice, with subtle notes of licorice and crushed stone. The palate is smooth and concentrated yet balanced, with polished tannins and enough freshness to support the wine’s natural richness, finishing long with notes fruit and savory herbs. It is an inviting Châteauneuf that reflects the warmth of the vintage and the domaine’s distinctive approach.

Varietal: Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah
Appellation: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, France
Farming: Organic
Style: Red. Generous, smooth and classically Rhône
