3 generations of winegrowers share their passion and their know-how on the 42 hectares of Domaine de Cristia, spread over the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. Deep black robe with hints of purple, Complex nose with notes of red fruits and garrigue associated with discreet and elegant toasted oak. Delicate and textured palate with spices, and milk chocolate notes. The finish is fresh, tight and rich, full of jammy fruit. It's gorgeous on the palate and is medium to full-bodied, with a seamless, elegant texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's rock star stuff!
Concentrated but not weighty, this has an ethereal quality to its attractive licorice, cherry pie and fragrant incense notes, shored up with chalky tannins and a dusting of graphite that offsets the warmth. Beautifully textured, with bitter plum and mineral notes alternating with holiday spices and apple wood smoke stretching out across the finish. Drink now through 2040. 100 cases made, 35 cases imported.
