This wine embodies the spirit of tradition and innovation, blending the elegance of ripe Grenache with the spice of Syrah and the depth of Mourvedre. The harmony of red fruit and garrigue aromas and silky tannins leads to an elegant finish reminiscent of the sunshine of southern France.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red colour.

From the glass, aromas of ripe griotte cherries, plums, dried herbs, black pepper, licorice and a hint of violet emerge.

On the palate, rich layers of fruit and spice are apparent, with delicate acidity bringing the whole to a close.

The tannins are smooth and fine, and the finish is long, with minerality and Mediterranean herbal nuances.

It can be enjoyed young, but has the potential to become even more complex with a few years of aging.

Pairing
Roasted lamb with herbs
Roasted duck breast with red wine sauce
Southern French ratatouille and grilled sausage

About the Winery

Domaine de la Solitude

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.
