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

The Rhone Valley of southern France is a particularly fascinating wine region, with a history that stretches back to at least six hundred BCE, when the ancient Greeks first began cultivating vines there. The region itself is split into two distinct sub-regions, with the northern sub-region being famed for its production of exceptional Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines, packed full of interesting character and expressing the terroir found there. The southern sub-region is home to an enormous variety of grapes, and produces red, white and rosé wines, and some of the world's most famous and adored blended wines. The continental climate of the region is ideal for growing grapes, and the winds which blow from the Central Massif help temper the heat in the vineyards, leading to very ripe fruits holding plenty of flavor.
