The Domaine de Cristia 'Vieilles Vignes' Châteauneuf-du-Pape is another total knockout from Baptiste Grangeon in this vintage. It instantly impresses with its beautiful aromatics of ripe raspberries and blackberries which are woven together with sweet spices, lavender and and a touch of dusty minerality all taking shape. On the palate this is beautifully textured, showing remarkable balance and finesse through the finish. The beautifully polished tannins make this impossible to resist even at this early stage, however there is little doubt that this will absolutely thrive in the cellar.
