James Suckling - 99 points
2024
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vin de la Solitude Red is a unique and historic cuvée crafted by Domaine de la Solitude as a tribute to the estate's legacy. Inspired by 18th-century winemaking techniques, this wine is made from a blend of traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape varietals, including Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and others, using co-fermentation and extended maceration to create a distinctive profile.
On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of ripe dark berries, black cherries, and plum, complemented by earthy undertones, hints of garrigue, and a touch of spice. The palate is full-bodied and richly textured, with fine-grained tannins and flavors of black fruit, licorice, and a subtle smoky note.
The wine's finish is long and harmonious, reflecting its careful crafting and the unique terroir of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation.
