95/100 Wine Spectator
Tasted: ‘A dense style, revealing flavours of blackcurrant, black plum and braised fig, complemented by notes of espresso, liquorice root, loam and graphite. The very dense finish is loaded with blackberry jam and graphite notes, and will need a little time to fully stretch out. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Best from 2010 to 2030.’
FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE CUVÉE :
- Blend: The Grenache grapes come from the oldest plot of Domaine de la Solitude, planted by my great-great-grandfather at the beginning of the last century. It is located on the western slopes of the Crau, on a terroir of safres. The Syrahs flourish on the cool safre terroir of Les Blachieres.
- - 70% century-old Grenache noir & 30% Syrah
- These two great terroirs are always vinified separately in the best years.
- Vinification & Maturing : The grapes are harvested by hand in 25 kg crates. After a double selection of the best bunches in the vineyard and on the sorting table, the Grenache grapes are vinified as whole grapes, while the Syrahs are destemmed.
- Vinification takes place in truncated concrete vats. It is carefully matured for 20 months, 80% in barrels. The wine is blended and then matured
