Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Lirac 2023

Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils Lirac is a Southern Rhône red from the appellation just across the river from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, produced by one of the region's respected family estates.

Lirac lies on the right bank of the Rhône, opposite Châteauneuf-du-Pape and neighbouring Tavel, and shares much of the same terroir of rolled galets roulés, sand and limestone that help ripen Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre through long, warm Southern Rhône summers. Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils was founded in 1931 when Francis Usseglio emigrated from Italy and began working the vines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape; the estate remains in family hands four generations later, now farming close to 48 hectares across Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Lirac, Côtes du Rhône and Vin de France plantings. The family's approach favours hand-harvesting and a close reading of each parcel's soils, applied consistently across all of the estate's Southern Rhône appellations.

Structured yet generous, it is a wine built for the table, pairing naturally with roasted and slow-cooked dishes.
