Domaine Usselio Châteauneuf-du-Pape Première Pierre Rouge is a compelling expression from one of the most storied appellations in the Southern Rhône. It opens with enticing aromas of ripe red and dark fruits — think black cherry, plum, and subtle hints of garrigue herb — layered with whispers of spice and earthy complexity. On the palate, the wine feels both structured and plush, with savoury notes and integrated tannins that support its depth and richness. A touch of pepper and mineral nuance carries through to a long, warming finish, showing why Châteauneuf-du-Pape remains synonymous with depth and longevity. This is a wine that rewards patience and pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like lamb, game, or slow-roasted vegetables.
