Domaine Cristia Cairanne 2007
by Baptiste Grangeon

  • Domaine de Cristia is run by brother and sister combo Dominique and Baptiste
  • Wine Advocate dubbed them the "new superstars of Châteauneuf-du-Pape" in 2003, backed up by 95 Parker Points for their 2005 / 2006 vintages
  • The Cairanne is rapidly emerging as a customer favourite, quite simply a "wow" wine!

"Me and my brother, Baptiste, are the third generation of our family working at Domaine de Cristia. We started working here back in 1999, taking over from my father. The soils were in excellent condition thanks to Dad's biodynamic conception of agriculture. But trying to change old mentalities was a challenge! After our first few vintages, we really found our own style in 2003. That vintage produced some wonderful wine, and The Wine Advocate called us the 'New Superstars from Chateaueuf-du-Pape'. Winemaking is something I'm truly passionate about. And I love working with my brother Baptiste, who is an engine of energy, ideas, positivity and reassurance. But if I wasn't making wine, I'd be a professor of history, or an intrepid explorer a la Indiana Jones!"

I was told this was one of the highlights of our range and it didn't disappoint! Big, bold flavours perfect for my tastes.

Not my favourite. Little bit thin, and a little bit weak. Easily drinkable, but just not that *nice*

If I'm after a well priced, quaffable red, there's lots of other options on the site I'd take ahead of it.

Guess what?....Another of my favorites!
Heady aromas and good deep flavours. Not as heavy as my usual favourites but just as enjoyable!
Reminds me to stock up on it.
