2023 Vin de la Solitude Rouge

Vininformation

Vin de la Solitude er lavet efter en 1800-talsopskrift med 9 forskellige druer – og uden dominans af Grenache (dog 25%). Håndhøstede druer fra udbytter på 25 hl/ha. Alle druer samgæres i hele klaser i store, tronkoniske fade efterfulgt af 80 dages maceration og 18 måneder på egetræsfade. Her får du resultatet af en kraftfuld, intens og harmonisk druesymfoni fyldt med små, overraskende nuancer. Her er raffinement, harmoni, elegance, fløjlsagtige tanniner og en vin, som varer ved og ved og ved…

94 point - Jeb Dunnuck: "Always one of the most singular wines in a vintage, the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vin De La Solitude comes from the la Solitude lieu-dit on 50% galets roulés and 50% sandy safre soils. Based on 25% Grenache, 22% Syrah, 20% each Mourvèdre and Counoise, 7% Cinsault, 2% Clairette Rose, and 4% other permitted varieties, it was vinified with whole clusters in truncated tanks and aged 15 months entirely in neutral barrels. It offers meaty black cherries, black olives, roasted garrigue, and Provençal spice, reminding me of a street market in the south of France with its meaty, complex, incredibly Provençal style. Medium to full-bodied, it has building tannins and outstanding length. With 233 cases produced, give it a year or two and drink over the following 10-12 years. Drink 2026-2038."

93 point - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate: "The 2023 Chateauneuf du Pape Vin de la Solitude appears riper and slightly more oxidative than the 2022, showing a somewhat evolved profile at this early stage. It opens with aromas of oak, spices, dried plums and baked dark berries. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, it boasts a rich core of fruit and chewy tannins, leading to a long, spicy finish. Abundantly tannic and marked by its oak, this blend of several grape varieties was matured in used barrels, but the overall impression leans toward excess, with ripeness and wood somewhat overpowering finesse."
