Domaine de Cristia 2022 Chateuneuf-du-Pape ‘Vieilles Vignes’
Tasting Note
This extraordinary Châteauneuf hails from vines that boast an average age of over 100 years, located in the legendary Les Garrigues vineyard. Crafted exclusively from Grenache and aged for 24 months in French oak barrels, this wine promises to develop beautifully over the next 15-20 years.
The Vieilles Vignes is a quintessential expression of old vines, delivering finesse, length, and complexity in every sip. It strikes a perfect balance between softness and intensity, with enticing aromas of ripe berries and a subtle hints of pure liquorice. The palate is broad and complex, featuring a soft, round texture embellished with ripe berry flavours and spicy undertones of black pepper, walnuts, and licorice in the finish. The tannins are fine, and its texture is smooth and velvety. A truly breath taking red wine to be savoured.
