The Cotes du Rhone vineyards are situated mainly in Gard, with over 50% of the grapes coming from Cotes du Rhone Villages vineyards; the remainder coming from the named parcels of Plan de Dieu and Rasteau. The grapes used to make this wine are grown in the stony, limestone, and clay terroirs typical of the southern Rhone Valley.
Wines have been made on this estate for several hundred years, dating back to 1264 when the family arrived from Italy to serve the pope in Avignon. The three hats depicted on the label signify two bishops and a pope, who were among the forefathers of the Lançon family. The 38-hectare domain in the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation is now run by Florent Lançon, who cultivates the estate sustainably, as certified by Terra Vitis. Florent, who is passionate about innovative winemaking, while honoring traditional values, has recently started working with new tulip-shaped concrete vats which were initially designed for Cheval Blanc and are at the cutting edge of winemaking technology. Domaine de la Solitude’s wines are renowned for their characteristic elegance whilst expressing the true origins of their terroir
