Pour yourself a glass of this and spend an hour experiencing how it opens up in stages. At first there’s an incredibly zesty and dangerously vibrant nose, but with great savory complexity. Then notes of dried cherries, candied oranges and touches of bitter chocolate emerge. And when you think it’s all done, a spicy and balsamic character unfurls. Incredible energy and purity on the very focused medium- to full-bodied palate, where the huge tannins feel astonishingly delicate. An almost endless mineral finish. A cuvee based on counoise, grenache, syrah and mourvedre with 10% white grapes, most of which are clairette and all of which are biodynamically grown. 100% whole cluster, macerated for 90 days, then aged for three years in old oak barrels. Drink or hold. ... More details

The intriguing 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Vin de la Solitude features a large proportion of Counoise, plus Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and up to 20% white grapes. It's all whole cluster and ages entirely in barrel, but the results speak for themselves. Rose petals, dried spices and black cherries all join together on the complex nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate adds hints of dark chocolate and wild herbs. It's silky, long and elegant, a fascinating expression of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Rated 93 by Wine Spectator
Supple in feel, with a core of cherry and plum dusted in earth and graphite. Dried anise and herbal notes lift on the palate, which builds in intensity with medium fine–grained tannins. Ends with a sanguine note on the firm finish, which stretches out nicely. Counoise, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Roussanne and Roussanne. Drink now through 2032. 250 cases made, 100 cases imported.
Winery
Vin de la Solitude is a tribute to our ancestor Paul Martin, who was one of the first French winemakers to sell his wine in bottles in the 18th century under the name “Vin de la Solitude”. Elegant and refined wine, tannic while remaining fresh. Floral nose with small black fruits and spices. A mouth with blackcurrant aromas, subtle tannins and a great length.

Region: Rhone Valley

For over two thousand years, the southern French region of the Rhone Valley has been home to wine-makers and wineries of many different types. The ancient Greeks were the first to discover that a wide range of grape varietals can flourish in the rich soils and micro-climates which typify the region, and little has changed to this day. In the modern age, the Rhone Valley is recognized around the world as the home of excellent quality white, red and rosé wines, as well as some of the most highly respected blended wines on earth. The region is split into two distinctive sub-regions, with the cooler, continental northern sub-region producing primarily Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines of exquisite quality, and the hotter southern sub-region growing a much wider variety of grapes.
