You won't find it anywhere else in the country.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomaine Les Aurelles is not your typical Languedoc producer. Run by Basile and Caroline Saint-Germain, this biodynamic estate is legendary for doing things the hard way. They refuse to use oak barrels, and they hold their wines back in the cellar until they are absolutely perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Solen\" cuvée is their ultra-seductive blend of old-vine Carignan and Grenache. Instead of rushing it to market to make a quick profit, they aged this 2012 vintage for a staggering 48 months in vats before it was ever bottled. This incredibly long elevage preserves the profound purity of the fruit while softening the naturally massive structure of the Carignan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop French critics predicted this specific 2012 vintage would become a masterpiece with time. Well, it is early 2026, and they were completely right. We secured the only retail parcel of this perfectly aged, 14-year-old gem in the United States. It has shed all its youthful edges, revealing a wine of incredible elegance, silk, and savory Mediterranean soul. If you love mature Châteauneuf-du-Pape but want a wine with more mineral tension, this is an absolute must-buy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Les Aurelles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48099291824385,"sku":"2788155","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/8085\/9649\/files\/2788155.png?v=1771647135","url":"https:\/\/winekey.com\/products\/2012-domaine-les-aurelles-solen-pezenas-languedoc-france-750ml","provider":"WineKey","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
