Domaine de Cristia’s 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Classic is everything you want in a southern Rhône red—ripe, rich, and wildly satisfying, with a lift and elegance that make it more than just muscle.

This cuvée is built around old-vine Grenache, with Syrah and Mourvèdre adding depth, structure, and spice. The fruit leans dark—blackberries, cherries, and dried figs—wrapped in garrigue herbs, cracked pepper, and a whisper of warm earth. The tannins are plush and well-integrated, making it approachable now but with plenty of backbone for aging.

Cristia farms organically and vinifies with a light touch, allowing the terroir to shine through all that southern sun. It’s classic Châteauneuf flavor, but with sleekness and polish that keeps things fresh.

Perfect for: grilled lamb, hearty stews, roast vegetables, or just cozy nights in when only a big red will do.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"The 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape ranks alongside the finest renditions of this wine ever produced at Domaine de Cristia. Bursting with orange blossom, garrigue, red cherry, strawberry and licorice, it strikes the perfect balance between opulence and freshness. Polished tannins, a seamless mouthfeel and a focused, juicy conclusion round it all up." -Nicolas Greinacher

Robert Parker

RP 92
"Crafted from vines planted on sandy soils, the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape from Domaine de Cristia has a vibrant, elegant bouquet of dark cherries, berries, rose, violet and lilac mingled with fresh thyme notes. Medium to full-bodied, pure and clean, it has an ample and fleshy core of fruit, suave texture and polished tannins. Comprising 85% Grenache Noir and 15% Syrah and matured for 18 months in both wooden and concrete tanks, this authentic Chateauneuf-du-Pape is worth seeking out." -Yohan Castaing

Decanter

D 93
"Impressively expressive, with melted down berry fruits infused with herbs – really fruity and ripe, but all well controlled and focused, with fine tannins. A lively and vibrant Tradition cuvée that should be great value for money. Mostly aged in concrete tank, with 15% in foudres." -Matt Walls

Wine Spectator

WS 93
"Velvety and seductive, with smoothly polished tannins holding up ripe red currant and cherry flavors edged in iron and baking spices. A bitter cherry pit note at the end contributes to the focused, dry finish, which stretches out. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre."
