Domaine de la Solitude’s 95 Point Chateauneuf Blanc; Vinopolis Plays The Hits; Grand Marques, Grand Markdowns; New Grapelive JJ Prum Review; K Vintner’s Sale Update; New Bin End Price Reductions
Domaine la Solitude has become known for making some of the best white Chateauneuf around. Taking the natural richness the wines are known for, Solitude manages to polish them with a little more finesse than many others in the region and this effort, arriving Friday, is a classic. 2016 looks to be yet another fantastic southern Rhone vintage, with the whites as some of the shining stars. This fantastic bottling looks to be the perfect way to start getting into the wines and deserves a place on your table and in your cellar.
