Domaine de Cristia 2018 Cotes du Rhone

The 2018 Domaine de Cristia Cotes du Rhone is a beautiful bright garnet red. Aromas of black fruits and wild herbs prevail. Good attack on the palate, a fine wine which is elegant and well structured with good volume and length based on fruity and spicy aromas

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.

Then, in 1999, Baptiste, Dominique and more recently Florent joined their father. Their priorities were to concentrate on selecting the best parcels in order to produce a wine of a great quality with a good ageing potential.
