(2791 views) | | | Tasted by StuckinPA on 5/2/2011 & rated 86 points: light straw color, some peach and petrol on the nose, light bodied with peach, some nectarine, and floral flavors. Nice finish, plenty of flavor. Nice wine to consider with sushi, cheese. Not spectacular, but a serviceable table wine most people will enjoy.

Domaine de la Solitude - Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The Lançon family, owners of Domaine de la Solitude, descend directly from the 12th Century Barberini family of Rome.
The best known of the family, Maffeo Barberini, was a papal nuncio, or diplomatic representative, in Paris from 1604 to 1606, and was made Pope in Rome under the name Pope Urban VIII.
Two of his nephews became cardinals and a part of the family then settled down in Avignon. In the 1980s, brothers Michel and Jean Lançon took the future of Domaine de la Solitude in their hands, focusing attention on the vineyards.
Over the past several years, Michel’s son Florent Lançon has taken over the day-to-day operations of Domaine de la Solitude, continuing to make improvements while preserving the traditions of his father and uncle.
