Pierre Usseglio

The Usseglio family arrived in France in the 1930s and settled in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. However, the family’s winemaking history truly began in 1948, when Francis Usseglio started farming 8 hectares as a sharecropper before being able to establish his own estate a few years later. Since then, the property has expanded significantly and now covers 39 hectares, the majority of which are located in the AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Lirac, and Côtes-du-Rhône. Managed by Thierry and Jean-Pierre, the estate is fortunate to have a significant heritage of old vines, half of which are over 65 years old. The entire production enjoys a high level of quality, ranging from wines of pure pleasure to prestigious bottles that are among the very best wines of the Rhône Valley. Grenache, Syrah as well as Clairette and Vermentino (Rolle) play the leading roles here.

What are the best wines from Domaine Pierre Usseglio?

The Pierre Usseglio estate produces several remarkable cuvées that appeal to both novices and seasoned enthusiasts. Among the most iconic are the Première Pierre cuvées in red and white (formerly Tradition): generous and perfectly balanced Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines, reflecting the typicity of the terroir with a predominance of Grenache noir for the red and Clairette for the white.

Even more ambitious, the Mon Aïeul cuvée, a 100% Grenache Châteauneuf red made from the oldest vines on the estate. A great wine combining power and finesse with great elegance.

The Réserve des Deux Frères stands out as one of the estate’s greatest wines: concentrated, deep, built for aging, this cuvée from very old vines is produced in limited quantities and is regularly praised by the specialized press. 

In a more accessible and “pleasure-driven” style, the L’Unique cuvées in red, rosé, and white demonstrate the creative and modern spirit of the Usseglio family. Classified as Vin de France, these wines break free from the appellation’s codes to offer bottles built around ease and conviviality.Fruity and elegant wines, perfect for an aperitif!

Alongside these emblematic cuvées, the range also includes a red and a white from the Lirac AOC, a Côtes-du-Rhône red, as well as rare cuvées such as Not For You and Clos n°18.

In short, the wines of Pierre Usseglio form a mosaic that reflects both the Rhône tradition and the desire to create original expressions. They combine the natural power of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape terroir with a constant pursuit of balance, ranging from immediate pleasure to great collectible wines.
