"Les Claux" Rouge is Domaine Raymond Usseglio's entry-level CDR, a blend of 60% Grenache, 20 % Syrah, 20 % Mourvedre. The average age of the vines is 50 years and the wines are all biodynamic. Exclusive to KWM, you’ll have to search far and wide to find a better value!
The Usseglio family initially emigrated to Châteauneuf de Pape from Italy. Brothers Pierre and Raymond began the dynasty that we know today as one of the most revered producers in the region. Stéphane, Raymond’s son, has now taken over the Domaine and is pushing hard to reach the potential of the family’s holdings, some of the best of Châteauneuf.

RobertParker.com Tasting Note (2019 Vintage)
Joe Czerwinski - 91 Points - "Boysenberries, blueberries and hints of redder fruit emerge on the nose of the 2019 Cotes du Rhone les Claux, a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah. It's medium to full-bodied, with a plump, generous feel and a silky texture accompanied by a gorgeous sensation of freshness and lip-smacking acidity on the long finish."
RobertParker.com Tasting Note (2016 Vintage)
Joe Czerwinski - 90 Points - "The rich, concentrated 2016 Cotes du Rhone les Claux is an equal-parts blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah from a lieu-dit just next to Lirac, on the western side of the Rhône. Dark cherry fruit dominates this full-bodied red, but it picks up notes of lavender, thyme and anise on the plush, velvety-textured finish."
