Domaine de la Solitude Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2021
- 750 ml bottle
Product details
A stunning Chateauneuf with stacks of ripe blackberry fruit, generous body and concentrated fine tannins. Together with the pronounced minerality, they give this a stunning velvety texture right through the remarkably long intense finish for the challenging 2021 vintage. From field blend vineyards growing on 50% galet cobblestone soil and 50% sandy soil. Grenache is dominant, followed by syrah, but mourvedre, counoise and vaccarese also play an important role. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold [into the early-to-mid 2030s]. Score - 94. (Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com, May 22, 2023)
