Reviews of 2007 Domaine de Cristia Chateauneuf du Pape Proprietary Blend
John Sweeney, JJ Buckley
January 2010
Wow what a wine! This has everything you would expect in a great young Rhone. An absolute knockout on the nose with notes of blueberry, raspberry, dark chocolate, and savory herbs. I honestly did not want to take the glass away from my nose. On the palate incredibly silky, wonderful texture, and layers of flavors that just linger for over a minute. This is a gem from a consistent producer in an amazing vintage.
90 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
October 2009
The dense ruby/purple 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape (90% Grenache and 10% Syrah) is very sexy and rich, with a beautiful nose of blueberry, blackberry, charcoal, and tapenade. Fabulously concentrated, with silky tannins and a layered, rich mouthfeel, this stunning effort is already irresistible, and should drink well for a decade or more.
90 points, Wine Spectator
September 2009
"Ripe and seamless, with a gorgeous mouthfeel to the raspberry, mulled spice, crushed currant and melted licorice notes. Long and fleshy, with a buried minerality extending the finish. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2025. 3,330 cases made. –JM"
About 2007 Domaine de Cristia Chateauneuf du Pape Proprietary Blend
About the Winery Domaine de Cristia
"Domaine de Cristia has come on like gangbusters over the last decade, since proprietors Baptiste Grangeon took over from his father in 1999. All of Cristia’s vineyards are in the northeast sector of the appellation, with their sensational 100% Grenache Vieilles Vignes cuvee coming from 70- to 80-year-old vines in sandy soil not far from the Rayas vineyard. They apparently only made one cuvee in 2008, a normal occurrence in Chateauneuf du Pape given that vintage is average to just above-average in quality.
As I have indicated over the last few years, this is one of the superb newer producers in Chateauneuf du Pape. Their cellars are in the village of Courthezon, which is located adjacent to the very northeast sector of the appellation. Their 2007s are spectacular wines. This superb Chateauneuf du Pape producer also fashions tasty Cotes du Rhones and Cotes du Rhone-Villages meant to be consumed during their first few years of life." - Robert Parker
