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

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Over the past 15 years, the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel has expanded by acquiring appellations in the Southern Rhône Valley. A successful ambition, both in Luberon with Vieille Ferme and on the other terroirs presented. A perfect mastery of fermentation and appropriate ageing are key factors in this success.
