Domaine de Cristia - Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2014
88/100
Robert Parker
“The 2014 Châteauneuf-du-Pape white has a pale golden color and reveals notes of lavender, spiced apple, and citrus on the nose. Medium-bodied, crisp, and refreshing, this blend of Roussanne, Clairette, and Bourboulenc will be best enjoyed over the next 2–3 years. ” (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2016 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
La Cristia is a magnificent vineyard site near Rayas, ideal for the fine-grained character of Grenache grapes, much like Roquette, where the estate also owns a vineyard. Étienne Grangeon skillfully crafts superb wines from this exceptional raw material, but he does so with boldness and a constant quest for the ideal style—one he has not yet found.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2016 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
A winery founded in 1942 by the grandfather, expanded and improved by the father, Alain Grangeon. A new leap in quality began in 1999 with the third generation (Baptiste, Dominique, and Florent): bottled sales, reduced yields, single-vineyard selections, and the gradual conversion of the 56 hectares to organic farming. A benchmark in Châteauneuf.
