The wine
Making up about 80% of the blend, Grenache is the star grape in this Châteauneuf du Pape wine, blended with small amounts of other varieties growing in the different terroirs of the Domaine Usseglio Raymond & Fils winery. Aromas of red fruit such as cherries and plums stand out whereas hints of undergrowth give the wine its added complexity.
