Domaine du Vieux Lazaret

With 225 acres, Jerome Quiot, one of the largest landholders in Châteauneuf du Pape, is a powerful figure in the appellation. His three domaines, Les Combes d'Arnevel, Domaine Duclaux and Domaine de Vieux Lazaret, have consistently improved in quality over the last decade and should be taken seriously by consumers.
