Domaine de Cristia Châteauneuf du Pape 'Cuvée Renaissance' 2016
Vintage Character
Domaine de Cristia Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Renaissance 2016 is a powerful yet refined expression of the southern Rhône, crafted from old-vine Grenache (around 60%) with a significant portion of Mourvèdre (about 40%). The 2016 vintage in Châteauneuf-du-Pape is widely regarded as exceptional, thanks to a warm, dry summer and cool nights that produced wines of remarkable concentration, freshness, and balance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
In the glass, this cuvée reveals deep aromas of black cherry, plum, licorice, roasted coffee, and subtle leather, layered with spice and garrigue herbs. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins supporting flavors of dark fruit, black pepper, and mineral undertones, leading to a long, structured finish. Its depth and intensity make it a superb partner for dishes such as slow-braised lamb shank with rosemary, roast pork with Provençal herbs, or aged cheeses like Manchego, where the wine’s complexity and power shine through.
Winery Background
Founded in 1942 by Etienne Grangeon and now run by the third generation of the family, Domaine de Cristia has grown from a modest 2 hectares of Grenache to more than 40 hectares across Châteauneuf-du-Pape and surrounding appellations. Based in Courthézon, the estate’s parcels benefit from the region’s iconic galets roulés (rounded stones) and sandy soils, which contribute both power and finesse to the wines. Certified organic since 2008, Cristia is known for its commitment to sustainable farming, meticulous vineyard management, and a philosophy of minimal intervention in the cellar. Grapes are hand-harvested, fermentation is carried out with native yeasts, and élevage combines large demi-muids and oak barrels, with restrained use of new wood to preserve purity. The Cuvée Renaissance is a flagship bottling that highlights the domaine’s dedication to crafting wines of depth, elegance, and authenticity, firmly placing Cristia among the respected names of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
