Status: offline 		Is this the 3rd wine of Domaine Chevalier or what ? I have DC and L Esprit De Domaine Chevalier, but could not find a lot of info about Domaine De La Solitude. It is about the same price as L Esprit and it is the same denomination, but I cannot find info if weather this is a second wine or a second or third label. At $27 and coming from Domaine Chevalier that I just very recently discovered and fell in love with, I was wondering if this wine is something worth trying. My shipping window is MAYBE 2 or 3 more weeks and would close till early November and I want to know if I should order some. Please remember that for me it is not as simple as ordering and getting them3 days after that in my home. I need to drive 6 hours round trip to pick them up, so it is not the $200 but rather a full day of driving.

Comment I found, no idea of accuracy of history

There is a Domaine de la Solitude, but it seems to have nothing to do with Domaine de Chevalier.

Moreover, the price in one shop in France is similar to what you were discussing.
Bordeaux shop

I hope this is helpful.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers,
John

Thanks so much for the info John, VERY much appreciated !!! Thats what I was looking for . I dont understand why you say it has nothing to do wtih Domaine De Chevalier, it actually has all to do with them after I read the material you sent me. It is done by the same team and the Bernard is also the owner of this brand. It seems my 3 weeks at the Moratorium are close to finish as I will wait for an opening for cold weather ( maybe the last chance we will get) so a shippment can be done ground. Thanks again !

Status: offline 		Eduardo,

I did not read all the description, and you are correct, it is associated with Chevalier through Bernard. By noting that it had nothing to do with Chevalier, I meant that is was not a third wine (or second or whatever). The Devil is always in the details.

The description notes that the tenancy, which started in 2023, was to last 40 years, so it is over. It is not clear what this portends.

Regardless, best of luck with this purchase.
John
