CHâTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE 2001, DOMAINE DE CRISTIA

TASTING NOTES

'For anyone who enjoys a decent CNDP this really is superb. Drinking very nicely, the wine offers flavours of dark berry fruit together with tobacco, liquorice and chocolate. Rich and full-bodied the structure is incredibly silky smooth with flavours that just keep on evolving ending with a beautiful long finish. Pure joy!'

PRODUCER NOTES

Created by Etienne Grangeon 70 years ago, the property originally comprised 2 hectares of Grenache. It was developed further by the driving force of his son Alain, who joined the domaine in 1963. Passionate about viticulture, he notably contributed to the expansion of the domaine and planted improved grape varieties such as Syrah and Mourvèdre and created the identity of Cristia, based on the knowledge and respect of his soils.
Today three generations of vignerons share the passion and skills on the 21 hectares that make up Domaine de Cristia, which include the appellations of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes-du-Rhône Villages, Côtes-du-Rhône and Vin de Pays (4 hectares).
The vineyards are certified 'agriculture biologique' (Organic Wine) by ECOCERT since vintage 2008.
