The base cuvée from this fabulous family estate is the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape, which is based on 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah brought up in a mix of foudre and concrete tank. It's a fleshy, forward, delicious 2020 revealing plenty of spicy red and black fruits, medium to full body, ripe, rounded tannins, and some classic peppery garrigue and leather nuances.
Domaine de Cristia Description
The “Classic” has a distinctive floral component and is a pretty wine, at the same time, it captures the power and spice you expect from a classic Châteauneuf. The vines average 50 years-old and are grown in a sandy loam and clay soil.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
Looking better than it did from tank, Cristina's 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape is ripe and rounded, with ample amounts of black cherries and plums, an exception to the overall red-fruited nature of the vintage. Full-bodied, creamy and lush, with a lingering, silky finish, this 85-15 blend of Grenache and Syrah should drink well for up to a decade.
Vinous: 91 Points
The 2020 Chateauneuf-du-Pape was vinified from organically grown grapes and aged for 18 months in a combination of foudre and concrete tanks. The 2020 burts from the glass with ripe red and black fruits, dried herbs, tomato leaf, and mint aromas. This is a medium to full-bodied, polished red with refreshing acidity and a sapid finish.
