Wine Spectator
Alluring, with flow to the cassis, cherry compote and raspberry coulis flavors, backed by light rooibos tea, tobacco and dried blood orange accents. The silky finish is sneaky long, offering a light sanguine echo. Drink now through 2025.

Black-plum and mulberry notes are plump and easy on the palate of this velvety, plush red. Ripe and rich, it's elegantly balanced by crisp acidity and fine, firm tannins. Primary and fruity now, with delicate hints of nut and spice, it should develop earth and spice tones through 2025.

Wine & Spirits
Owned by the Quiot family, this domaine is one of the largest in the appellation, at 230 acres spread among 35 parcels. They make use of all the grape varieties allowed in the appellation, turning out an elegant, mouthwatering style of Châteauneuf. The 2015 feels juicy and alive, a streak of acidity surging though the anise-scented cherry notes. It may not be the most profound of the 2015s, but it’s one of the most delicious.

Harvesting of the grapes is done entirely by hand, with very strict selection of the best grapes to enhance the quality of the Domaine du Vieux Lazaret wine. This limits the maximum production, under the A.O.C laws, to 35 hectoliters per hectare.
