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.
