La Solitude Côtes du Rhône Réserve Rouge 2023

• Region: Rhône Valley
• Sub-Region: Southern Rhône
• Varieties: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre

Vineyard Produced by the Lançon family of Domaine de la Solitude (a historic Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate). The fruit is grown in the stony, clay-limestone soils of the Rhône, where the warm climate and the cooling Mistral winds allow for the production of fruit with great intensity and depth.

Wine A robust and structural red that punches well above its weight. It delivers a rich bouquet of blackberries, plums, and wild herbs (garrigue), layered with notes of cracked black pepper. The palate is full-bodied and well-balanced, featuring ripe tannins and a long, warming finish.
