A wine of the highest quality. Naked wine have hit on a real must buy. Smooth in texture and lots of flavour.

This is a powerful Rhone ideal with cheese and meat but i would hesitate, but not for long, about drinking it on its own. Bit shocked to find it was 15% - yes that's not a typo. but its strenght is hidden by its excellent balance and structure.

very very good, got a peppery kick initially but it calmed down into a slightly spicy (could be my bad food pairing) smooth as silk top tipple

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!"
