Famille Lancon
Famille Lancon is the family vignerons behind the Domaine de la Solitude - an estate belonging to one of the most ancient family’s native to Chateauneuf du Pape. In France as early as the 15th century, the Martin’s traces can be found, but in Italy they go further back up to the ancient but just as renowned illustrious Barberini.
Although the estate has existed for centuries, the spread of phylloxera caused the fall of the Domaine, that is until Albert Jacob was able to reshape the property and started to bring it back to its glorious past. His daughter, Paule Jacob married Pierre Lancon who carried on the task. Two of their children, Michel and Jean joined the property in the 70s, a few years later once Pierre Lancon felt he had passed on his knowledge and experience, he left them the management of La Solitude and went with his wife to Sabran(Gard) to create a new Domaine where they produce “Domaine de la Solitude vin AOC Côte du Rhone”.
