2003 Domaine de Cristia Chateauneuf Du Pape Renaissance

(95 Points) Alain and Baptiste Grangeon make this wine from a small, 3.7-acre plot of old vines. Aged in wood for 2–3 years, it shows definite vanilla characters, with intense, ripe black flavors, great concentration and richness and flavors of cassis and spice. There is a delicious juicy aftertaste to this impressive wine. *Editors' Choice* (RV) Wine Enthusiast, Review Date: 12/2005
