2006 Domaine de la Solitude

Unusual to have the assemblage (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc) spelt out on the back label.Made for the religious order by Olivier Brnard of Domaine de Chevalier and with a rather similar label. Light, extremely discreet nose but very emphatic and fresh on the palate. Really rather classic Léognan – great balance and pretty open. Not a ridiculous price. For those who like their claret classic. See www.domainedelasolitude.com (JR)
