Domaine de la Solitude Description
Domaine de la Solitude Chateauneuf-du-Pape has a nose of flower and blackcurrant. On the palate, it is fresh and balanced, with notes of cocoa and cherry and a long finish of licorice.
This vintage is perfect to pair with slow-cooked lamb, roasted pigeon and many cheeses.
Blend: 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 5% Counoise, 5% Cinsault, Terret Noir, Muscardin & Vaccarèse
James Suckling: 94 Points
A stunning Chateauneuf with stacks of ripe blackberry fruit, generous body and concentrated fine tannins. Together with the pronounced minerality, they give this a stunning velvety texture right through the remarkably long intense finish for the challenging 2021 vintage. From field blend vineyards growing on 50% galet cobblestone soil and 50% sandy soil. Grenache is dominant, followed by syrah, but mourvedre, counoise and vaccarese also play an important role. From organically grown grapes.
