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."

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.
