In 1931 an Italian Francis Usseglio left Italy and went to Chateauneuf du Pape in France. Here he got
a job at some winegrowers. After the
war he got his own property - in 1948. He had two sons Pierre and Raymond.
Pierre Usseglio got his father's property and Raymond established another estate.
Today the 3. generation is in charge. The sons of Pierre Usseglio, Jean-Pierre
and Thierry run Domaine Pierre Usseglio and Stephanie runs Domaine Raymond
Usseglio.
