#PROPERTY: History & Terroir
The history of Domaine de la Solitude
The history of Domaine de la Solitude dates back to the 17th century, and is closely linked to one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's oldest and most illustrious families. The story begins with the marriage of Hélène Barberini, a descendant of the famous Tuscan family of the same name, to Claude Martin, owner of a vineyard in Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
The founding couple's grandson creates the first known label for a Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine: "le Vin de la Solitude", which is the origin of Domaine de La Solitude. Eight generations later, the estate is still family-owned and run by Florent Lançon.
Today, the estate boasts 37 hectares of vines spread over 33 parcels in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation.
