A brilliant amber hue. Aromas of peach, apricot, white flowers, and a hint of brioche overlap and unfold in a complex way. On the palate, the rich fruitiness and elegant minerality harmonize, with the aftertaste gently lingering with nuances of marmalade and peach compote. This is a wine that can be expected to age well in the bottle. Its character changes whether chilled or warmed, making it a white wine worthy of being the centerpiece of any dinner table.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
Pale yellow colour with golden hues.

The aroma that rises from the glass is rich, with white peach, apricot, and pear fruits layered with acacia flowers, honey, hazelnut, and a hint of toast.

When you put it in your mouth, the thickness of the ripe fruit and the smooth texture of the Roussanne spread, and the vanilla and minerality from the barrel are in perfect harmony.

The finish is long, with subtle aromas of white pepper and marmalade. This white wine combines power and elegance, and has great ageing potential.

Pairing
Sautéed scallops and porcini mushrooms in butter sauce
Chicken cream stew
Roasted lobster with saffron sauce

About the Winery

Domaine de la Solitude

La Solitude is one of the oldest families in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with origins dating back to the 15th century. In the 17th century, Hélène Barberini, a Tuscan noblewoman, married Claude Martin, a vineyard owner in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Their grandson produced the appellation's first label, ushering in a new era for the Solitude family. La Solitude wines were recognized for their quality, gaining widespread recognition and excellence in the terroir. Eight generations later, the domaine remains family-run, currently led by Florent Lanson.
