Stephane Usseglio 'Les Parcellaires'

Stephane Usseglio has been producing wines from his estate in Lirac, since the 1980s. Before that, he climbed the ladder to chief winemaker at his father’s Domaine in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, at only 22 years of age. Readers looking for the bottled essence of the Southern Rhone should dive right into this one. This is an extremely obscure blend of ‘old vine’ Grenache and Petite Serine (an ancestor of Syrah). It’s a harmonious wine that won’t disappoint.
