Reviewed March 2023Sliced lemons and pear drops with some hints of cream. Limes. Full-bodied with a creamy and delicious palate of dried fruits and hints of nougat. Chewy and phenolic. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator
Shows nice brightness, with fleur de sel notes out front that give this zing from the get-go, followed by pink grapefruit oil, gooseberry and bitter almond hints. The fleur de sel takes an encore on the finish for zip. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. (JM)

Refreshing citrus and stone fruit (apricot and peach), within a cloak of soft and creamy oak. Lovely, gentle sweetness and touches of cool lemon, pineapple and bitter orange. Nuanced, although still quite closed, with cedar lingering. (GH)

Jane Anson
Sappy and slatey, more emphasis on texture than fruit, this is a lovely understated wine. Juicy and easy to drink, not trying too hard.
Notes
90 points Neal Martin for Vinous: " The 2020 Domaine de la Solitude, a blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon, has a lovely, what you might call "sunny" bouquet with yellow plum, honeysuckle and jasmine scents with fine vigor. The palate is taut and fresh, with lovely penetration, taut and spicy thanks to a vein of stem ginger that runs through from start to finish. This wine from Olivier Bernard is well worth seeking out." (3/2023)
