Note di degustazione
Sourced solely from the galets roulés and clay of the la Solitude lieu-dit, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Barberini is a blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre. Aged in a mix of new oak and tank, it offers up scents of cedar, vanilla, black cherries and red raspberries on the nose but also complex hints of truffle and garrigue. In the mouth, it's full-bodied and a bit marked by dry oak tannins on the palate, with hints of hickory smoke and silk on the finish. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.

The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Barberini is more dense and modern in style, with beautiful cassis and blackberry fruits as well as peppery herbs, white flowers, and spice. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated on the palate, with a great texture, it’s another powerful yet fresh, balanced wine from this impeccably run estate. Give it a few years. Despite it’s more modern style, it stays firmly planted in the Southern Rhône. One of the oldest estates in Châteauneuf du Pape and run by the Lançon family, Domaine de la Solitude covers over 80 acres of prime real estate in the la Solitude lieu-dit, which borders the famed La Crau lieu-dit and is in the center of the appellation. The wines today are made by the talented Florent Lançon, and they produce up to five reds and three white Châteauneuf du Papes in any vintage. The estate doesn’t like to submit barrel samples, so I wasn’t able to look at any of the 2020s, but unquestionably, 2019 is a great vintage at this address.
Tasted blind. Marzipan nose with grilled almond and fresh apples. A little reductive and needs time – I think this will blossom over time, but needs 5 years at least. (AC)
