Tasting Notes: Rich, Smooth, and Elegant

The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge presents a vibrant bouquet of black-berried fruit with subtle brambly notes. Hints of the local wild garrigue add depth, while gentle spices bring warmth and complexity to the palate. The wine’s elegance is perfectly balanced with a sumptuous mouthfeel, making it an ideal choice for both casual sipping or pairing with a variety of dishes.

The 2021 Vintage: Exceptional Quality and Character

The 2021 vintage at Domaine de la Solitude was marked by low yields and high-quality fruit, resulting in a wine of exceptional character. The growing season began with an early bud burst, followed by a mild, dry spring and a hot, dry summer. While the dry conditions led to a rainfall deficit, the vines were refreshed by a mid-August storm, and the Mistral wind helped maintain vine health throughout the growing season. As a result, the grapes reached peak ripeness, and the wine shows vibrant colour and excellent potential for aging.

This Domaine stretches from the ‘La Crau’ high terraces and descends into the Solitude Valley. The estate covers a patchwork of soils, from sandy soil known as ‘Safres’, which offer good drainage, to clay and pebble. The vineyard has an abundance of rounded quartzite stones, known as "Galet Roules", which derive from the Villafranchian period. These stones absorb heat during the day and then radiate it at night, promoting full grape maturity. The Provencal sun characterises the climate, with warm, dry summers and the Mistral winds that bring cleansing breezes through the vineyards. The vines are sustainably cultivated, and the grapes are manually harvested once each variety has reached phenological ripeness.
