Tasted at L&S Rhône Tasting - 20/09/2022
Wild strawberry and raspberry to the fore, fairly full and nicely rounded. The acidity is well balanced with a gentle mineral line, finishing dry and savoury. A subtle wild herb note adds interest. 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. At under £15 a bottle, this represents very good value for money. Drinking range: 2022 - 2024 Rating: 91 Matt Walls, Decanter.com (Sept 2022)

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.
Domaine Le Sollier Mixed Case
Domaine Le Sollier in Duché d'Uzès is exactly this type of producer and the 3rd vintage has now arrived in our cellars. Duché d'Uzès was only granted AOC status in 2013 and bright young things Olivier and Nicolas Thomas have been at the forefront of the region’s relatively short history. Fresh, bright, pure and elegant are not the usual notes to be found in the southern Rhone Valley but the wines of brothers Olivier and Nicolas have them in spades.
we’ve put together a case of twelve bottles (three of each of their wine), so that you can try the complete range at a shade off our usual discounted case price and with delivery included.
