Jean-Pierre and Thierry Usseglio

Jean-Pierre and Thierry Usseglio are leading winemakers in the Southern Rhône, carrying forward the legacy of Domaine Pierre Usseglio in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. As part of a family estate founded in 1948, they have established themselves as benchmark producers, crafting wines that combine power, elegance, and a strong sense of terroir. Working across vineyards planted on the region’s iconic galets roulés, as well as sandy and clay soils, the Usseglio family benefits from a warm Mediterranean climate that allows for optimal ripening and concentration. Their vineyard philosophy emphasizes old vines, low yields, and meticulous parcel selection to ensure depth and balance in every cuvée. Specializing in Grenache led blends, supported by Syrah, Mourvèdre, and other traditional Rhône varietals, Jean-Pierre and Thierry Usseglio adopt a low intervention approach in the cellar. Gentle extraction, precise fermentation, and careful aging in a mix of oak and traditional vessels result in wines that are rich, structured, and remarkably refined. At Origine, we feature Jean-Pierre and Thierry Usseglio as part of our premium French selection, highlighting winemakers who combine heritage, craftsmanship, and terroir driven precision. Their wines embody the essence of Châteauneuf-du-Pape powerful yet balanced and expressive.
