Domaine de Cristia Vieilles Vignes 2022

Domaine de Cristia is a family affair rooted in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where several generations of the Grangeon family have succeeded one another. The adventure began with Etienne, before Alain gave the estate new momentum, notably through a rigorous selection of grape varieties. Today, Baptiste, Dominique, and Florent continue to promote this heritage with precise work in the vineyard. Domaine de Cristia has forged a solid reputation thanks to its powerful and elegant red wines for aging, which reflect the prestigious terroir of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The Vieilles Vignes cuvée is a particularly profound expression of this terroir, as is the Renaissance cuvée. We also appreciate the Collection Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Tradition, a must-have. The estate also offers a Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc, demonstrating the diversity of expressions possible within this appellation. The range extends to the Cristia Collection Côtes du Rhône, fruity and indulgent red wines that serve as a delightful introduction to the estate's style. A flagship signature of the Southern Rhône, waiting to be discovered. Among the most sought-after cuvées are Domaine de Cristia Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine de Cristia Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes, and Domaine de Cristia Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Renaissance—useful benchmarks for understanding the identity of the house.
