Even before the legendary Châteauneuf-du-Pape region was founded, Florent's ancestors were making wine there. Centuries later, he still works the same vineyards. His wine bursts with wild berries, violets, and garrigue. Châteauneuf at its most seductive!

About the winemaker

"My family's roots go back to the 15th century. That's how we were able to pinpoint exactly when the first wines were produced at Domaine de la Solitude. They were already in the 17th century. So my ancestors were already around when the famous Châteauneuf-du-Pape region was founded. It's strange to think that so many centuries later, I'm still making wine in the same place."

95/100 James Suckling
“Very rich and spicy, with impressive concentration and stacks of fine, soft tannins on the full-bodied palate. There’s licorice and meaty intensity in the crescendo finish. A cuvee of 60% grenache, 20% syrah, 10% mourvedre and 5% each counoise and cinsault. From biodynamically grown grapes. A small crop due to hail damage in May. Matured mostly in concrete tanks with a small number of oak casks.”

Rhone , France
The world-famous Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation is named after the eponymous village in the Rhône Valley. The name literally translates to "the Pope's new castle." The area is known for the large pebbles and large stones that cover the vineyards. These absorb the sun's heat during the day and act as a blanket to keep the vineyards warm at night, allowing the grapes to ripen further. No fewer than 13 grape varieties are permitted in Châteauneuf (8 red and 3 white), all of which, theoretically, could be used to make red wine, including the white varieties. However, most growers choose to select from these grapes. For example, winemaker Florent uses five different varieties in his wine.
