WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine de la Solitude - Famille Lancon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is a premium white wine produced by the Lancon family in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the Rhône Valley. The vineyard features a unique terroir with sandy and clay soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure only the highest quality fruit is used. The winemaking process involves a combination of traditional and modern techniques, including fermentation in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant blend of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne, and Bourboulenc, with notes of white flowers, citrus, and honey. This wine is a perfect example of the exceptional quality and craftsmanship that the Lancon family is known for.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine de la Solitude - Famille Lancon
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
