About Domaine de la Solitude
The history of the Domaine de la Solitude does not allow us to locate with precision the origin of the property. In reality, it is not until the nineteenth century and the establishment of the community of the Holy Family in La Solitude that we have explicit historiography of the Estate. It was in 1970, aware of the need to value their wine capital, a goal that was not very compatible with their contemplative life that the sisters decided to give the management of the estate to external stakeholders. This decision will work really well and the image of the vineyard of La Solitude, until then almost non-existent, will gradually rise as a reference of Graves du Nord. The vineyard, with some similarities to the one of Chevalier, is planted with 40 hectares of 25 years old vines. There is an identical diversity in both areas, although the structure of the land has significant nuances. The grape variety is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Harvesting is done by hand and vinification takes place in vats, based on moderate temperatures, grape varieties and plot origin. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels. The evolution of the Domaine s wines towards a more shouldered structure, with fine and elegant tannins, allows the winemaker to increase the proportion of new wood during aging.
