Wine Spectator
Produced on very clayey soils with gravel from the Ouvèze river, Les Christins is a fine example of the expression of old Grenache vines from the southern Rhône. It offers an impressive aromatic bouquet, tinged with black fruits and peppery spices . Powerful and full-bodied, it exudes notes of black olives and licorice on the palate, supported by a beautiful tension. A Vacqueyras of choice!
