CHÂTEAUNEUF DU PAPE Vieilles Vignes Domaine de Cristia 2022
Crafted from old vines of Grenache Noir planted on sandy soils (Cristia's south and north lieux-dits), the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes from Domaine de Cristia exhales a more solar bouquet in comparison with the other cuvées, opening in the glass with notes of dark olive, tapenade, dry thyme, chocolate and baked dark berries. Sweet and medium to full-bodied with a broad attack, it's layered and textured with an enrobing structure and polished tannins. The sweetest of the lineup, it finishes long and perfumed with delicate notes of lavender and licorice. Matured for 18 months in large barrels (33%), new barrels (34%) and the rest in used barrels, this is a great success at this address.
VOLNAY 1er Cru Santenots Domaine Rémi Jobard 2021
An overtly floral and spice-suffused nose is comprised by notes of various red berries and exotic tea. I very much like the refined texture of the middleweight flavors even though they are not especially dense while exhibiting focused power and a light minerality on the youthfully austere finish that is firm enough to repay up to a decade of cellaring. This is a more elegant Santenots than usual.
