Domaine de Cristia, Chateauneuf du Pape, Cuvee Renaissance 2019 (1x75cl)

Châteauneuf-du-Pape sits in the warm Southern Rhône, where Grenache-based blends like this one usually turn out rich and generous, with the herbal lift of garrigue scrub in the background.

A good bottle to bring to a dinner party or tuck into a client gift box – it's built for the kind of meal where people linger over the table.

Tasting notes

Typically dark berry fruit, warm spice and a savoury, herbal edge, with soft tannins that make it easy to pour alongside roasted or grilled dishes.
