WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine de la Solitude Cuvée Barberini is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc produced in the warm, sunny Rhone Valley in the south of France. The wine is a blend of white varieties that include Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Clairette grapes. The Roussanne harvest is fermented in new barrels and the Grenache and Clairette grapes in vats. This wine is aged for around eight months on fine lees before being blended. The Roussanne provides the opulence, Grenache Blanc stone fruit flavors and spice, whilst Clairette gives the wine freshness to craft a complex and well-balanced wine.

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
