Châteauneuf Du Pape

2003 Chateauneuf-Du-Pape Controlee Grenache Noir, Syrah, Mourvedre

Domaine De Cristia Châteauneuf Du Pape is a remarkable red wine that perfectly embodies the essence of its revered region. Composed primarily of Grenache Noir, along with complementing Syrah and Mourvèdre, this wine showcases a full-bodied character with robust fruit intensity and a smooth mouthfeel. The high acidity contributes to its refreshing quality, enhancing its complexity. Tannins are notably structured yet supple, providing a well-rounded finish that lingers delightfully on the palate. The wine is dry, allowing the rich flavors of dark cherry, plum, and subtle spice to shine through, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with hearty meals or enjoying on its own. Vintage 2003 adds an intriguing depth, showcasing the elegance and richness that Domaine De Cristia strives to achieve in their Châteauneuf Du Pape wines.
