A wine with precise character, freshness and power. Has extreme elegance, a beautiful lasting taste in the mouth and capacity to age well. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc (60%) and Sémillon (40%), the Domaine de la Solitude Blanc offers explosive floral and fruity aromas of acacia, peach, citrus and exotic fruits. The palate is rich and fresh with a typical mineral accent and the finish is long and exquisite.

Shows nice brightness, with fleur de sel notes out front that give this zing from the get-go, followed by pink grapefruit oil, gooseberry and bitter almond hints. The fleur de sel takes an encore on the finish for zip. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now through 2027.

The 2020 Domaine De La Solitude (Pessac-Léognan) Blanc is classic Sauvignon with its bright citrus and grapefruit aromatics as well as its medium-bodied, clean, crisp, balanced profile on the palate. It's going to be versatile on the dinner table and should evolve of 4-6 years, although it's great today.

The 2020 Domaine de la Solitude, a blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon, has a lovely, what you might call "sunny" bouquet with yellow plum, honeysuckle and jasmine scents with fine vigor. The palate is taut and fresh, with lovely penetration, taut and spicy thanks to a vein of stem ginger that runs through from start to finish. This wine from Olivier Bernard is well worth seeking out.
