Tasted at L&S Rhône Tasting - 20/09/2022
Pencil lead notes on the nose. Fuller and more generous in body than the nose suggests with good acidity - neat and precise even in a hot vintage. Very drinkable. From a relatively new estate in the extreme west of the southern Rhône in the foothills of the Cevennes. An excellent producer across its range, but this Syrah-based cuvée is regularly extremely good and good value for under £20. Try it instead of a Crozes-Hermitage. Drinking range: 2022 - 2029 Rating: 92 Matt Walls, Decanter.com (Sept 2022)

A blend of 80% Syrah with some Grenache. Quite a deep colour. Quite a solid intense nose, with some hints of vanilla and oak. Quite solid tannins on the palate. Youthful and not yet very harmonious.Rosemary George MW (May 2022)
Grape variety 15 year old Syrah (80%), 35 year old Grenache (20%) Average yield 25 hl / ha The color is intense ruby, with good concentration. The nose is fine and elegant, marked by ripe black fruit, sour cherry, blueberry and violet. Light notes of roasted coffee reveal a well-integrated barrel aging. Serve between 16 and 18 ° C with a leg of lamb or a duck with cranberries.Winemaker's notes (Dec 2021)
Domaine le Sollier
Domaine le Sollier is the most westerly domaine in Duché d'Uzés in the foothills of the Cévennes based in the village of Monoblet. A largely calcareous mountainous terrain, the Cévennes enjoys a Mediterranean climate of hot days, balanced by cool nights.
What marks out le Sollier is that it lies on a fault, so the 12.5 hectares of vineyards, farmed by Nicolas Olivier and his brothers, have a mix of different soils. Sandstone, marl, limestone and dolomitic deposits are well drained and allow Nicolas to produce eye-catching wines of great purity.
Low intervention winemaking with minimal sulphur, these are beautifully detailed wines of great persistence and immense drinkability.
