97/100 Parker
Tasted in 2018 by Joe Czerwinski: ‘The 2016 Châteauneuf du Pape La Réserve Secrète shows notes of cedar, vanilla and mocha against a backdrop of cola, plums and red berries. Full-bodied, rich and creamy, this is a resolutely modern wine that can be drunk straight from the bottle and over the next two decades. This is one of the best Domaine de la Solitude wines I can remember tasting.’

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE CUVÉE :
- Blend: The Grenache grapes come from the oldest plot of Domaine de la Solitude, planted by my great-great-grandfather at the beginning of the last century. It is located on the western slopes of the Crau, on a terroir of safres. The Syrahs flourish on the cool safre terroir of Les Blachieres.
- - 70% century-old Grenache noir & 30% Syrah
- These two great terroirs are always vinified separately in the best years.
- Vinification & Maturing : The grapes are harvested by hand in 25 kg crates. After a double selection of the best bunches in the vineyard and on the sorting table, the Grenache grapes are vinified as whole grapes, while the Syrahs are destemmed.
- Vinification takes place in truncated concrete vats. It is carefully matured for 20 months, 80% in barrels. The wine is blended and then matured
