Plenty of ripe citrus, honeyed orange, and minty nuances emerge from the 2022 Domaine De La Solitude Blanc, a juicy, lively, beautifully pure white with medium-bodied richness and depth and terrific depth of fruit and intensity. Based on 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon, raised on one-third new oak, it’s perfect for drinking over the coming 4-6 years, if not upwards of a decade.

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 2022 Domaine de la Solitude Blanc has evolved on the nose with hints of tropical fruit, beeswax, apple blossom and melon. The palate is well balanced with a crisp opening and fine weight, offering a slightly waxy texture. Quite spicy on the finish, this wine has commendable weight and will be difficult to resist in its youth. There's terrific volume and overall presence here. - By Neal Martin on January 2025

Our tasting notes: Our tasting ended with the traditional white Bordeaux being served last. This Bordeaux Blanc was 85% Semillon, 10% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Muscadelle, with 13.5% ABV. During elevage, the wine spent 7-10 months on the lees on neutral oak; therefore, the wine has a wonderful silky yet slightly oily and creamy mouthfeel. The wine was lively, yet delicate, with a wonderful citrus/lime and stone fruit (peaches/apricots) backbone. Really nice wine, delicious.
