| Winery | 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 on the label signify two bishops and a pope among the Lançon family's forefathers. 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, passionate about innovative winemaking while honouring traditional values, has recently started working with new tulip-shaped concrete vats 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. The Cotes du Rhone vineyards are situated mainly in Gard. Over 50% of the grapes come from the Cotes du Rhone Villages vineyards and the remainder from the named Plan de Dieu and Rasteau parcels. The grapes used to make this wine are grown in the stony, limestone, and clay terroirs typical of the southern Rhone Valley. |
