Just tried the new vintage of this wine and it's just as good as the 2007. It's a well balanced wine not too heavy. A nice smooth wine with not too much tannin and a spicy plumy flavour with a hint of black pepper on the back of the throat.
One of my favourite wines.

A bit young really. This should improve in 12-18 months. That said, it is no more than you'd expect from this type of wine, so I wasn't especially excited by it. A good, sound grenache - but that's all.

Opened this one just before Sunday lunch; first glass going down well as I cook the veg. It is the sort of Red I like; not too heavy.

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!"
