Solitude’s Chateauneuf-du-Pape Tradition Blanc has been produced since the 17th century. It is a blend of white grapes – the Grenache blanc comes from the “La Crau” plateau, while the Clairette, Roussanne, Bourboulenc, and Picpoul varietals are grown in the “Vallon de la Solitude”. The Roussanne and Grenache blanc grapes are fermented and aged in barrels on fine lees while the other varietals mature in vats to retain all their freshness

Intense and shapely, showing plenty of pear and floral notes. Full-bodied, regal and impressive, with a generous mouthfeel and a long finish. A lot of wine for the money, in an oaked style, but not excessively so. Matured 30% in concrete tank, 30% foudres and 40% barriques for 10 months. (Drink between 2023-2030). 92 Points
