'Saint Germain’s 2007 Coteaux du Languedoc Solon represents a blend of Carignan, 36% Grenache, and 8% Syrah that in his mind epitomizes Mediterranean character and pays homage to unjustly-scorned Carignan. It is rich, full, spicy & balsamic whilst still showing great elegance.

This wine has been highly regarded by many critics.

'Scents of blackberry and mulberry preserves, toasted pecans, wood smoke, machine oil, mint, and sage capture the attention. On the seamlessly pure palate, this beautifully but incongruously manages to combine jam-like ripeness of black fruits with a cool, soothing yet refreshing overall cast. Smoky notes return, along with suggestions of graphite, in the long finish of this irresistible wine.'
