Pierre Usseglio & Fils Lirac 2022
One of the leading estates in Châteauneuf du Pape is unquestionably Domaine Pierre Usseglio, run by Thierry and Jean-Pierre Usseglio, with the next generation of Gregory Usseglio now working full-time with the estate as well. The lineup has shifted slightly over the years, with their Côtes du Rhône being replaced by the L’Unique label, which is released as a Vin de France.
They produce a terrific Lirac, both red and white.
