Francis Usseglio moved to France from Italy and created the original Domaine in 1931 . Since 1999 Stéphane Usseglio, son of Raymond, has taken over the domaine and is pushing to reach the potential of the family's 34 ha holdings, some of he best of Châteauneuf. Half his vines are situated near the road in the lieu-dit 'La Crau " and the other half on the hill across the road from the actual ruins of the new castle of the Pope. He has the good fortune to have very old vines. The average age for his Châteauneuf vines is between 50 & 60 years old and the cuvée Imperiale vines are over 110 years old. - Importer Note
