2018 Domaine Raymond Usseglio Châteauneuf-du-pape "Cuvée Girard", Rhone Valley, FranceABOUT THIS WINE Our CDP Rouge dominated by 80% Genache is a blend of the different varietals and different terroirs of our appellation. A well structured wine with fine and elegant tannins. To be carafed during the first years.
