Châteauneuf du Pape red 2023 - Domaine de La Solitude
Direct from the estate
95/100 James Suckling
A stunning Châteauneuf with stacks of ripe fruit, generous body and fine, concentrated tannins. With pronounced minerality. Made from organically grown grapes.
• Grape Varieties: 50% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 10% Cinsault, 15% Mourvèdre
• Yield: 32 hl/hectare.
• Harvest : Hand picked.
• Vinification and ageing : After a manual selection of the best bunches on a sorting table, the grapes are crushed and de-stemmed and fall by gravity into our concrete vats. Long macerations with gentle extractions enable us to obtain the powerful and velvety tannins that are characteristic of our wines. About 25% of the wine is aged in barrels and demi-muids for 14 months.
• Tasting notes: Nose, bouquet of garrigue, cistus flower, blackcurrant buds, all fresh and balanced on the palate, with aromas of cocoa and cherry, with a long finish of liquorice.
• Food and wine pairing : In its youth, this vintage is perfect to accompany a shoulder of lamb slowly roasted in the oven, a roast pigeon with ceps, and from its fifth year, a stew, a Provencal stew, all game and many cheeses.
