Domaine De Cristia Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-Du-Pape, 2022

Domaine de Cristia’s Vieilles Vignes brings together Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre from the celebrated Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, with the old-vine designation lending particular appeal to this 2022 red. Châteauneuf-du-Pape was among France’s first appellations to receive AOC status in 1936, and remains one of the Rhône Valley’s most recognised names.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep ruby colour and a ripe, expressive profile typical of a southern Rhône blend: red and dark berries, potentially joined by notes of spice and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, Grenache can bring generous fruit and warmth, while Syrah and Mourvèdre add structure and savoury depth. The exact tasting profile and drinking window depend on the bottle and its storage. This style can be enjoyed young for its fruit, or held for a few years to allow the flavours to develop.

Production
Châteauneuf-du-Pape lies in the southern Rhône, where a warm Mediterranean climate and varied soils—including the region’s well-known large rounded stones—help grapes ripen fully. The wine is made from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre; specific vineyard sites, harvest methods and vinification details for this bottling have not been provided.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C with roast lamb, grilled beef, game or dishes featuring herbs and garlic. If the wine seems especially youthful or tightly wound, give it some time in a decanter; otherwise, a brief airing before serving should be sufficient.

Producer
Domaine de Cristia is the named producer of this Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Further details about the estate’s history, vineyard holdings and achievements were not provided, so specific claims about its background are best left unstated.
