The wine

A beautifully textured, ripe and full-bodied wine delivering rich red and black fruits, chocolate and a subtle hint of spice. Supple and elegant with a layered mouthfeel, notes of Morello cherry and a hint of chocolate on the velvety finish. Named for the Barberini, the papal family the Lancons descend from, and made only in the better years. The domaine's flagship.

The producer

Domaine de la Solitude

View all Domaine de la Solitude wines

Wine has been made on this estate for several hundred years, back to 1264 when the family arrived from Italy to serve the pope at Avignon. The three hats on the label represent two bishops and a pope among the forefathers of the Lancon family.

The 38-hectare domaine in Châteauneuf-du-Pape is now run by Florent Lancon, who farms sustainably under Terra Vitis certification. He is unusually open to innovation for so old an estate, and has recently begun working with tulip-shaped concrete vats originally designed for Cheval Blanc.

The range runs from a straightforward Cotes du Rhône through the Vallons de la Solitude to the Cuvee Barberini, named for the papal family and made only in the better years.
