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. ... More details

Solitude's 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape is wonderfully creamy, supple and approachable, with a long, plush finish. An assemblage of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and 10% other varieties, it seamlessly marries ripe cherries, dusty earth and dried spices on the nose, giving it even more immediate appeal. Impressive.

A suave, lush version, featuring a bright beam of cassis and boysenberry flavors. There's good energy and acidity, with cashmere-fine tannins edged in graphite. A warm robe of gently toasty apple wood draws out the attractive, medium-length finish. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Counoise. Drink now through 2032. 8,000 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.

The classic cuvée here, the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape is rock solid, with bright and juicy cherry and berry fruits, medium body, soft, integrated tannins, and classic notes of Provençal garrigue, lavender, and spices. It plays in the elegant, pretty, focused style of the vintage and will keep for 7-8 years. The classic Cuvée is 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and the rest Mourvèdre and other permitted varieties, with the elevage mostly in concrete but with 10% in new barrels.

Region: Rhone Valley

The southern French wine region of the Rhone Valley has been home to wine-makers for over two thousand years, with the first grapevines of the region being cultivated in around 600 BCE when the ancient Greeks arrived with their knowledge of viticulture and eagerness to produce more wine. Today, the region is famed around the world for the excellence of its produce, and has dozens of wineries making the most of the wide range of grape varietals which flourish there. In the northern sub-region, the continental climate and brisk winds coming off the Central Massif allow wineries to grow a smaller range of varietals – predominantly Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier, whereas the southern, more Mediterranean sub-region allows far more range. Here, dozens of varietals are grown for the production of white, red and rosé wines, all packed full of flavor and able to express the unique terroir they are grown on.
