Domaine de la Solitude

Domaine de la Solitude dates back to the 1820s when the estate was known as The Hermitage - which was a monastic order, the sisterhood continue to live there to this day. In 1993, the sisters decided to entrust the operation of the vineyard for 40 years to the Famille Bernard, owner of the Domaine de Chevalier. With the aim to produce classical wine that expresses the elements of the terroir and compares to the very best Grand Crus of the Pessac Léognan appellation. After the 40 year lease was up another , updated, long-term leasing arrangement in 2009. Following the example of Chevalier, Domaine de la Solitude produces Pessac-Léognan grapes rich in colours and flavours vintage after vintage and as M Bernard says, "A great wine is always born of a great grape."
