Domaine du Vieux Lazaret, Chateauneuf-du-Pape "Cuvee Exceptionelle" Imperial - 2005(SL-93540)

Domaine du Vieux Lazaret, Chateauneuf-du-Pape

Winery Story

The origin of the name Vieux Lazaret dates back to the 18th century when there existed in the centre of the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape ... (more...)a hospice or Lazaret. This is largest estate in Chateauneuf du Pape covering over 250 acres in 35 different parcels, with consequent complexity of soil types. Up to date winemaking techniques coupled with rigorous selection produce harmonious wines of great generosity. The Quiot family has owned vineyards in the region for over 200 years.

Tasting Note

The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Exceptionnelle has turned out to be significantly better than I thought last year when I tasted it prior ... (more...)to bottling. The greatest wine Quiot has ever made in my opinion, this wine shows a dense ruby/purple color and a gorgeous nose of camphor, blackberry, kirsch, some roast beef and Provencal herbs. Full-bodied with great intensity, beautiful purity, a multi-dimensional mouthfeel, and a spectacular finish of close to a minute, this is a fabulous effort from Quiot and should drink well for close to two decades.” —_The Wine Advocate_
