Domaine de la Solitude - Gigondas Bellecoste 75cl

• Terroir & grape varieties: The vineyard is cultivated with the greatest respect for nature and people. The grapes come from terroirs located on the southern slope of the Dentelles de Montmirail. Those terroirs, among the highest of the appellation, are located between 400 and 500 meters above sea level. A magnificent hillside whose soil is made of red clay and limestone glow. Such soils naturally give small yields.
• Winemaking and aging: The grapes are vinified in whole bunches in concrete tanks. The vatting lasts a fortnight with gentle extractions. 
• Aging:  65% in vats and for 35% in barrels of several wines.
• Tasting notes: The aromas of black fruits along with red fruits join the flavors of garrigue and black olives. Powerful tannins blend into a long finish.

Food Pairing: Leg of suckling lamb with thyme flower, ratatouille, Provencal tomatoes, lamb tagine with prunes.
