Domaine Cristia Cotes du Ventoux 2007
by Baptiste Grangeon

  • Yet another stunning wine created by the lovely Dominique Grangeon, this time a Côtes du Ventoux
  • This wine went down a storm at the Norwich tasting when Dominique kindly visited us, this wine has bags more depth, body and spice than the Cristia Grenache, so a nice and timely addition with the wintry months upon us!
  • Wine Advocate dubbed them the "new superstars of Châteauneuf-du-Pape" in 2003, backed up by 95 Parker Points for their 2005 / 2006 vintages

"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've had this in the garage for about a year now, faniced trying something new so popped the cork and let it breath about 3 hrs.

First thing you notice is how smooth this wine is... a rich velvet texture in the mouth but not too over powering in the body. Well balanced red berry & dark fruit flavours fading into a smokey caramel finish.... I'm about to order some more !

Absolutely fantastic,and by far the best wine we have tasted for a long time. It has class depth a lovely sharpness to it yet at the same time smokey and mellow, like a peat fire on a cold night. We have had the bottle for some time and only last night actually got around to opening it. I wish we had sooner ,as now out of stock

This is very good wine. Rich and full without being overly powerful. Good value.
