| Tasting note |
Getting a “yeah man” in the notes, the 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve Secrete (65% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre aged half in demi-muid and smaller barrels) makes the most of the vintage. Smoky and meaty, with classic Southern Rhone meatiness, truffle, black currant and licorice, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, fine tannin and a layered, textured profile that’s hard to resist. Dishing out more pleasure than most other wines in the vintage, it should be consumed over the coming 5-6 years as well. Run by the Lancon Family, with the wines now made mostly by Florent Lancon, Domaine de la Solitude covers roughly 35 hectares, all on the La Crau plateau, in the la Solitude lieu-dit.
