Very attractive nose of raspberries, licorice and oranges with a touch of summer flowers. Round and silky on the full-bodied palate, the ample tannins are beautifully integrated, making the long, refined finish velvety. A cuvee of 65% greanche, 20% syrah, and 5% each of mourvedre, counoise and cinsault from biodynamically grown grapes.

92pts Vinous

The 2022 Domaine de la Solitude marries the year's natural richness with the freshness typical of this cool site. In the blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, the Cabernet drives, offering notable savory intensity and structure. Hopefully élevage will help soften the tannins.
Barrel Sample: 90-92

Winemaker Notes

A bouquet nose of garrigue, flowers of cistus, blackcurrant buds. A mouth full of freshness and balance, with aromas of cocoa and Morello cherry, with a long and licorice finish.

In its youth, this vintage is perfect to pair with a shoulder of lamb 12 hr cooking in oven, roast pigeon with fungi porcini and from its fifth year, stew, Daube Provencal, all game and many cheeses.
