"The 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Impériale Vignes Centenaires needs plenty of aeration to open up, gradually releasing its black-fruited, spicy aroma profile. Over time, wild strawberries, garrigue, tobacco, leafy shadings and earthy scents step into the picture. Shaped by smooth tannins, the full-bodied 2010 possesses elevated flavor concentration and walks off the stage with a long and savory finish. Give it at least another two years in bottle." —Nicolas Greinacher

"A candidate for perfection, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Imperiale Vignes Centenaire is clearly the greatest wine I have ever tasted from Raymond Usseglio, even eclipsing their remarkable 2007. Don’t be surprised if it merits a three-digit score in five or six years. Somewhat closed, but bursting with potential, the wine is inky/purple to the rim and boasts abundant amounts of concentrated, jammy blackberry, kirsch, licorice, lavender, forest floor, white chocolate and a hint of truffles in its magnificent perfume. Some tannins appear in the mouth, but there is no doubting the luxurious concentration, multidimensional mouthfeel, full-bodied texture, enormous extract and richness, and nearly endless finish. This monumental Chateauneuf du Pape needs to be forgotten for 4-5 years and consumed over the following 2-3 decades." —Robert M. Parker, Jr.

"Dark and ripe, with very friendly raspberry ganache, blackberry coulis and melted licorice notes that carry through the broad, fleshy finish. Densely layered and not shy with its fruit-driven profile, but there's more than enough graphite-edged grip to keep this honest."

More about Domaine Raymond Usseglio

Raymond Usseglio created his winery in 1964 in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, now farming 18 hectares of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre with biodynamic care and sustainable practices. The Cuvée Girard blends old-vine power with restraint—not your fruit-bomb Rhône, but something deeper, more complex, more real. Weygandt-Metzler brings his wines to America, recognizing them as among Châteauneuf's finest expressions.
