Stéphane Usseglio & Thomas Farge - Oxymore 2019

3.9/5 (17 reviews)

"A unique vintage that's a must-try!

"Oxymore 2019 is a collaboration between Thomas Farge and Stéphane Usseglio. It is a blend of 65% Syrah from old vines in the northern Rhône, 30% Grenache and 5% Counoise. It has a deep purple/ruby hue, with notes of red and black fruits, game, ground pepper and violets. This marvel attacks the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a fluid, elegant texture and ultra-fine tannins. While the Syrah is at the forefront on the nose, the Grenache is more apparent on the palate, and this is a simply elegant, seamless and undeniably delicious wine in the making. Enjoy over the next 7-8 years." (Jeb Dunnuck 2020)

Stéphane Usseglio - Lirac Charles I 2017

3.7/5 (22 reviews)

"A fine effort from the estate's vines, the 2017 Lirac Charles 1er profiles with charming aromas of raspberry and strawberry. It's full-bodied and silky, with notes of licorice, dried spice and black cherry on the palate, then firms on the finish, enough to thinkit'll still be good 10 years from now."

Stéphane Usseglio - Ventoux 2016

3.6/5 (112 reviews)

"A very good value to buy by the case!"

"Made from a small parcel of old vines, the 2016 Ventoux is a tremendous success. Aged in concrete tanks, it has a rich, concentrated, velvety texture and ripe aromas of plum and stone fruit. The finish is long and tinged with garrigue. A very good value to buy by the case." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)
