Domaine de la Solitude Description
Domaine de la Solitude (Pessac-Leognan) is located 18 km southwest of Bordeaux, near Martillac in the Pessac-Leognan appellation. The property has belonged to the religious community of the Holy Family since 1854, whose goal is pray in the silence of solitude. It has 32 hectares of vines in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation. 25 hectares for the red (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot), 7 hectares for the white (60% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Semillon). The average age of the vines is 28 years old. In 1993, the sisters decided to entrust the vineyard management to Olivier Bernard, owner of Domaine de Chevalier, with a lease of 40 years. Following the example of Chevalier, Domaine de la Solitude produces grapes rich in colors and flavors vintage after vintage. The Bernard family have succeeded in revealing the qualities of this great terroir, making now some of the best value in the whole Pessac Leognan appellation.
James Suckling: 93-94 Points
Lots of dark-berry and wet-earth character with hints of walnuts and fresh mushrooms. Medium body, firm and chewy tannins. Solid.
Jeb Dunnuck: 93 Points
Performing nicely, the 2018 Domaine De La Solitude (Pessac-Léognan) has gained more elegance and finesse since I tasted it from barrel, offering a complex, layered style as well as medium to full-bodied richness, silky tannins, integrated acidity, and outstanding length. With lots of cherry and currant fruits along with notes of white truffle, green tobacco, and cedar, it's going to continue drinking nicely for at least 15 years.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
Cellar Selection. This wine comes from an estate owned by a religious order and managed by Domaine de Chevalier. Luscious black fruits are sophisticated and full. Embedded in the black fruits, the tannins are just showing their potential as the wine opens out. This will be a fine wine with time. Drink from 2025.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Tight, sleek style, with red currant, loganberry and bitter cherry notes streaming through flecked with savory and red tea hints along the way. Nice flash of iron on the well-focused finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2022 through 2034. 10,000 cases made.
