Can not believe this wine is £21.99. very disappointed. I think this wine was corked and had to dispose of it down the sink, This was the first naked wine we tried and it put me off ordering any more.

Class act. Does not overpower the food, and the food could never overpower this wine.Long aftertaste , this is a very subtle wine that creeps up the stars as you drink it.Wish it was a little less expensive so that I could afford more of it! Will buy again for special occasions.

Meet the Winemaker

Dominique Grangeon

"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!"
