The popes popes took up residence at Avignon in 1309 and stayed there for 70 years. The name of the most famous wine in the region, Châteauneuf du Pape, means the pope’s castle. Most of the vineyards are covered by massive round stones. During the day they reflect light, which is important for the vines, and at night they keep the yard warm after warming up during the day. The wines of the region are potpourris, often including up to 13 different grape varieties, and long skin contact extracts a rich colour and heavy tannins to the wine. The name Lazaret refers to a monastery that once existed in the area. This wine constantly receives commendable reviews.

Full-bodied, medium tannins, dark notes of cherry, raspberry, notes of plum, light olive notes, herbal, light spicy

Producer story

The history of the Quiot family, a French winemaking legacy, is intertwined with the history of the Rhône Valley. Antoine Quiot acquired his first hectares of vineyard in Vaucluse, specifically in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape area, as early as 1748. Presently, the family owns five wine estates comprising several hundred hectares of vineyards scattered across the southern Rhône Valley. Following the unexpected passing of Jérôme Quiot in 2018, the estates are managed by Florence and Jean-Baptiste Quiot. The family's primary estate has always been the Domaine du Vieux Lazaret, situated right in the heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Domaine Duclaux, Combes d'Arnevels, Domaine Houchart, and Château du Trignon complement the holdings of this esteemed wine family, where history and expertise converge, providing wine enthusiasts with an essential part of the Rhône Valley's gastronomic world.
