Robert Parker

Yohan Castaing

The 2021 Blanc is showing well today, evoking aromas of nuts, pear, peach, herbs and lemon oil. Medium to full-bodied, bright and tensile, it’s juicy and fresh with a mouthwatering, delicate finish. This is a blend of 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Sémillon matured sur lies for 10 months.

Wine Spectator

James Molesworth

Bright, with a slightly high-pitched core of white peach and Jonagold apple notes lined with chamomile and verbena. Shows good verve on the finish. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now through 2026. 1,000 cases made.

James Suckling

A structured and layered white with sliced ripe apples, pear blossoms and hints of blossom honey. It’s medium-bodied with a solid core of fruity and phenolic texture. Drink or hold.

Neal Martin

The 2021 Domaine de la Solitude Blanc has a light, slightly waxy bouquet that doesn't quite have the vivacity and tension of Lune d'Argent tasted directly before it. The palate is better, with a taut line of acidity. Green apple commingles with Anjou pear and a touch of freshly sliced grapefruit, leading to an energetic finish. Drink this over the next decade.

White flowers, orange rind, green apples, lemon custard and spice pop on the nose. The palate is even better with all its bright, crisp, juicy, sweet, crisp yellow citrus and white peaches. Drink from 2024–2030.

The 2021 Domaine De La Solitude Blanc shows the vintage’s fresher, focused style while still being concentrated and textured. Ripe melon, sappy flowers, and a kiss of minerality all define the aromatics, and it’s round, supple, and medium-bodied on the palate, with outstanding length.

The Wine Independent

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

A blend of 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Semillon, the 2021 Domaine de la Solitude Blanc charges out with vibrant notes of white peaches and green apples, plus hints of struck flint, honeysuckle, and brine. Light-bodied, the palate has impressive intensity, with a racy backbone and a long, zesty finish.

Yves Beck

Subtle, the bouquet displays many fruity nuances with aromas of quince, apricot and peach. The delicious character and refreshing acidity make this wine flavorsome, saline and persistent.

Wine Enthusiast

Roger Voss

Based around a religious abbey and run by Domaine de Chevalier, this wine is packed with white fruits and touches of orange peel. With a majority of Sauvignon Blanc in the blend, the wine has a herbal edge. Drink from 2025.

Description

A great white wine from Pessac-Léognan, fresh and delicate

The estate

The name of Domaine de La Solitude originates from a rule of the community of the Holy Family: to pray in the silence of solitude. The community moved to the estate in the 19th century. The nuns decide to entrust the wine management of this Pessac-Léognan estate to outside parties. Since 1993, Olivier Bernard has been managing the estate. A very old property of Martillac, Domaine de la Solitude is distinguished by the quality of its wines, offering fantastic value for money. These wines are accessible in their youth, but also promise good evolution over years of ageing in bottle.

The vineyard

A reference among Pessac-Léognan wines, Domaine de la Solitude spreads over 30 hectares of vines that rest on a gravelly soil upon a clay-gravel subsoil. 6 hectares of the vineyard are dedicated to the cultivation of white grape varieties.

Vinification and ageing

Pressing before alcoholic fermentation in barrels. Aged on lees.

The blend

Domaine de la Solitude 2021 White wine comprises a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.
