Tasting Notes: Bold Yet Refined
The 2023 Domaine de la Solitude Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge opens with a seductive bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, wild herbs of Provence, and floral undertones of cistus and lavender. Subtle spices and earthy notes evolve in the glass, adding depth and intrigue.
On the palate, this wine is decadently full-bodied, yet impeccably balanced. Silky tannins support rich layers of dark cherry, blackberry, cocoa, and liquorice, culminating in a long, warming finish. A wine of structure and sophistication, it is ideal for cellaring or enjoying now with robust cuisine.

Winery | This domain has one of the best terroirs in Chateauneuf-du-Pape with its abundance of rounded quartzite stones from the Villafranchian period. These stones absorb heat during the day and then radiate it at night, promoting full grape maturity. Yielding just 30 hectolitres per hectare, the vines are carefully managed throughout the year. The grapes are hand-harvested once each variety has reached full maturity, based on tastings undertaken by an expert panel. The vineyard is farmed sustainably; the domain promotes and develops biodiversity in the vineyard by maintaining a flourishing wine-growing ecosystem and is certified by Terra Vitis. |
