Description's - Blend
it is a tribute to our ancestor Paul Martin, who was one of the first French
winemakers to sell his wine in bottles in the 18th century under the
name "Vin de la Solitude".
Made according to the 18th-century vinique art with very different
blends where Grenache is not dominant. The wine consists of a large
number of co-fermented grapes with much longer macerations than
those made today.
We have reissued the four original labels of the Wine of Solitude.
• Grenache noir 25%
• Serine 22% (ancêtre de la Syrah)
• Counoise 20%
• Mourvèdre 20%
• Cinsault 7%
• Clairette 3%
• Clairette rose 2%
• Roussanne – Picpoul – Bourboulenc 1%
Winemaking and Aging
The grapes of each grape variety are harvested by hand and then put in
vats over their maturity. The first varietal Syrah is tanked in early
September while the latter, Counoise early October. They are co
fermented in whole bunches in a wooden conical tank. The alcoholic
fermentation is very long, it lasts more than a month and the vatting has
lasted 80 days.
Aged for 15 months in barrel the wine is then bottled without fining or
filtration.

Tasting notes
Floral nose with black berries and spices. A mouth with aromas of cassis, bouquet of garrigue. It is an elegant
and refined wine, tannic while remaining fresh.
