In 1993, in order to fully devote themselves to spiritual activity, the Holy Sisters of the Estate asked the Bernard Family to run the vineyards. The Bernards are owners of Domaine de Chevalier, one of the most prestigious “Cru Classés” of Pessac-Leognan. Olivier Bernard has opted for a “Grand Cru” management of the Estate. The harvest is done by hand and by successive selection: 3 passages like Domaine de Chevalier. Also, considerable investment has been made: a pneumatic press, stainless steel fermentation tanks and oak barrels.   These are the long-term investments that will make Domaine de la Solitude one of the most prestigious wine estates in the appellation.
