A stunning Chateauneuf with stacks of ripe blackberry fruit, generous body and concentrated fine tannins. Together with the pronounced minerality, they give this a stunning velvety texture right through the remarkably long intense finish for the challenging 2021 vintage. From field blend vineyards growing on 50% galet cobblestone soil and 50% sandy soil. Grenache is dominant, followed by syrah, but mourvedre, counoise and vaccarese also play an important role. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

A suave, lush version, featuring a bright beam of cassis and boysenberry flavors. There's good energy and acidity, with cashmere-fine tannins edged in graphite. A warm robe of gently toasty apple wood draws out the attractive, medium-length finish. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Counoise. Drink now through 2032. 8,000 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.

Solitude's 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape is wonderfully creamy, supple and approachable, with a long, plush finish. An assemblage of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and 10% other varieties, it seamlessly marries ripe cherries, dusty earth and dried spices on the nose, giving it even more immediate appeal. Impressive.
