Description
Located in the heart of the appellation, in the La Solitude lieu-dit, just on the western edge of the La Crau plateau, Domaine de la Solitude has been in the Lançon family for generations (the estate was created in the 17th century). Today, the winemaking reins are in the hands of the young, yet incredibly talented Florent Lançon. An elegant red wine made from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes. The grapes grow in the estate’s vineyards in the Côtes du Rhône appellation with clay-limestone and gravel soils. The Côtes du Rhône appellation brings together high-quality Rhône wines from the valley’s lesser-known and prestigious wine regions. Domaine de la Solitude belongs to the Lançon family, descendants of the Barberini family, whose most famous representative, Maffeo Barberini, became Pope on August 6, 1623 under the name Urban VIII.
