<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Châteauneuf-du-Pape translates to “new house of the Pope” and refers to the relocation of the papal court to Avignon in the 14th century.  Many Italian nobles moved to the area as well, and, thus the Lançon family members (owners of </span><span class="s2">Domaine de la Solitude</span><span class="s1">) are direct descendants of the Barberini family of Rome, still a prominent family in Italy to this day. The Lancon's are <strong>arguably the second oldest family in Chateauneuf du Pape</strong>, arriving in 1305. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Generations of winemakers at Domaine de la Solitude have worked hard to consistently improve the quality of their wines. Current vignerons Michel and Jean Lançon are taking seriously the future of Domaine de la Solitude, focusing attention on the vineyards. Florent Lançon has now taken over the viticulture and winemaking. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong> Fertilizers have not been used at Solitude for the past ten years.</strong> The Estate is a contiguous 100 acres, planted to 86 acres of red grapes and 14.8 acres of white grapes, with vines averaging 50 years of age. Parcels of Grenache are over 100 years old. </span></p>
