The estate : The Châteauneuf story of the Usseglio family dates back to 1931, the year when Francis Usseglio left Italy to settle in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and work there as a farm laborer. In 1948, he had the opportunity to farm 8 hectares of vines as a sharecropper and decided to create his own estate. His son Pierre succeeded him and continued to develop the family business. Now with 39 hectares, including 25 of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 6 of Lirac, 6 of Côtes-du-Rhône, and 2 in AOC Vin de France, the vineyard is now managed by Pierre's two sons: Jean-Pierre and Thierry Usseglio. The two brothers oversee a remarkable heritage of vines, half of which are over 65 years old, as well as a great variety of terroirs including the famous rolled pebbles but also clay-limestone and sandy soils. The estate has now become a benchmark operation in the region, and all production enjoys a very high level of quality thanks to superb work in the vineyard as well as in the cellar.
