I love cotes du rhone wines and this is a lovely one, a great Domaine and the Vacqueyras has been lovely and also at a very reasonable price. I just love the depth of flavours and the weight of it. Great. Definitely recommended

This is a deep, deep red, with wild berry colours and scents. The fruit flavours are there too: raspberries, blackberries and even some rhubarb! But, the flavours are only discoverable through the wild smokey furnace that hits you first.

An interesting wine at a very good price. Definitely buying again.

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!"
