Domaine Cristia Cotes du Ventoux 2009
by Baptiste Grangeon

  • Yet another stunning wine created by the lovely Dominique Grangeon, this time a Cotes du Ventoux.
  • You have to taste it to believe it. Massively rich red fruits, bundling up damsons, plums and black cherries in one delicious mouthful, paired with a spice and peppery quality that keeps the fruit on its toes. Pure unadulterated enjoyment.
  • Parker (fancy US critic) dubbed these guys the 'new superstars' of Chateauneuf-du-Pape in 2003. He wasn't wrong and this is a perfect example of why.

"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!"

Smooth,rich, extremely quaffable and not overpowering. Really enjoyed this wine and will definitely re-order.

We usually love Cotes de Ventoux, however this wine was very thin - not rounded as we thought it should be

Really enjoyed this wine. Full bodied, fruity and well rounded. Richer than most Ventoux's I have drunk, but the grapes and terroir worked their magic
