History
Domaine Raymond Usseglio finds its roots in the initiative of my father, Raymond Usseglio, who founded it in 1963. My family's wine history dates back to 1931, when my grandfather, Francis, left his native region. from Piedmont to settle in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
After more than fifteen years of working in the fields, in 1948 he succeeded in operating a sharecropping farm with his vines, and produced his first wine in 1949.
The year 1962 marked a significant turning point, with the planting of the first vines in my grandfather's name on the Terres Blanches terroir, now one of the most emblematic of the Domaine. Near these plots, in 1963, my father, accompanied by my mother Danielle, took up the torch from his father and founded the Domaine Raymond Usseglio.
At the same time, Châteauneuf-du-Pape is experiencing a remarkable rise in popularity and recognition as one of France's premier wine regions. This is why my parents devoted all their time to developing our family business into a recognized and expanding Domaine.
In 1999, the Domaine covered a little more than fifteen hectares of vines, and it was that same year that I took sole reins of the operation and produced my very first vintage at just twenty -two years.
