"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!"

Found this wine to be very young and "fizzy" on the palate, may improve by laying down

I understand why this wine achieved a bronze at the IWC. The competition must have been good because this wine is fabulous. Grenache is usually straightforward and sunny but here it is restrained, complex and intriguing. There is much in this wine to ponder but on a sensual level, the flavours are simply lovely.
