 Deep ruby red, young ans intense note of freshly crushed berries, medium bodied with a good sense of freshness and balance, spicy aftertaste.

Par conséquent, la Famille Quiot essaie de diminuer son impact sur l'environnement.

Pour cela,

• nous travaillons avec des imprimeurs certifiés "imprim'vert"
• nos cartons proviennent du recyclage
• nous cotisons pour l'élimination des déchets et leur recyclage en France et en Allemagne
• dans la mesure du possible, nous favorisons des fournisseurs locaux.

Nous envisageons fortement d'utiliser, d'ici 2011, des bouteilles écologiques (lorsque cela est possible). 2 objectifs:

• des préocupations écologiques
• la satisfaction de nos clients, c'est à dire ne pas faire de compromis sur le design ou la qualité.

Ces bouteilles, dites écologiques répondent à des exigences d'optimisation énergetique, d'énergie verte, de possibilité de recyclage (100%), de baisse d'émission de CO2 en production ou en transport, d'abscence de déchets ultimes et baisse de consommation énergétique. Cela implique également une optimisation du poids et donc de coût logistique.

N'hésitez pas à nous donner vos avis sur ce sujet

NB: 1T de verre recyclé = 500kg de CO2 en moins = 3000km parcours en voiture

2006 - AOC COTES DU RHONE VILLAGE SABLET

Bright ruby. Smoky cherry and blackberry aromas lifted by pungent herbs and dried flowers. Round, gently spicy dark berry flavors provide good palate coverage and are lifted by a tangy mineral quality. The spicy note repeats on the finish, which leaves a faintly tart quality behind.

2007 Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Chateauneuf du Pape

Vibrant ruby. Primary dark berry and cherry skin aromas are complicated by licorice and cocoa powder. Zesty mineral nuances add welcome focus to the deep blackberry and bitter cherry flavors. Finishes with weighty black fruit compote qualities and good cling. A big boy that will need seriously rich food.

2006 Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Chateauneuf du Pape

Medium ruby. Powerful red berry and musky herbs on the nose, with a bright mineral quality adding energy. Tangy redcurrant and strawberry flavors are finely etched and impressively fresh, with good mineral lift to the finish. I suspect that this will gain weight with a couple more years of aging.

2005 Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Chateauneuf du Pape

Medium red. Gently spicy, red berry-dominated bouquet suggests dried lavender, anise and rose. This is awfully seductive already but at the same time attractively understated. Juicy raspberry and cherry flavors are gently firmed by silky tannins, which add subtle grip to the long, sweet finish.

2004 Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Chateauneuf du Pape

Light red. Spicy, expansive cherry and redcurrant scents. Sweet red fruit flavors are given focus and by energizing acidity and fine tannins. Silky on the back end, finishing with a zesty wild strawberry note and very good length.

2003 Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Chateauneuf du Pape

Deep red. Inky and deep on the nose, with powerful, earthy notes of cherry liqueur and bitter chocolate. Offers serious grip and structure, with dense bitter cherry and dark plum flavors framed by solid tannins. Finishes with roasted notes of ripe cassis and espresso, and good length.

2006 Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc

Light gold. Ripe pear and melon aromas are lifted by white pepper and dried flowers. Fleshy apricot and honeydew flavors offer good ripeness, with gentle acid lift and a touch of warmth on the finish. This is drinking well now. 

2003 Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Exceptionelle

Medium ruby color. Deep, heady bouquet of ripe cherry, red plum and blackberry, complicated by dried rose and violet. Lush and velvety, with the blackberry and cassis fruit showing excellent clarity and depth. The supple, long finish is at once round, sweet and nicely focused.

Bright ruby. Smoky aromas of dark berries, cherry and sassafras. Smooth in texture and appealingly sweet, offering broad blackberry and cherry compote flavors and a late note of pungent garrigue This round, open-knit wine is drinking well now.

2006 Domaine Duclaux Chateauneuf du Pape

Medium red. Sexy aromas of red berries, potpourri, white pepper and minerals. Pinot noir-like on the palate, displaying racy raspberry and cherry, mineral and candied rose flavors. Finishes precise and persistent, with repeating mineral notes. This is lovely right now.

2005 Domaine Duclaux Chateauneuf du Pape

Bright ruby. Fresh raspberry and cherry on the nose, with a spicy mineral undertone adding zest. Light in weight, with lively red fruit flavors, dusty tannins and good finishing focus. More about finesse than power, and drinking well now.

2004 Domaine Duclaux Chateauneuf du Pape

Medium red. Smoky, intense strawberry and raspberry aromas, with subtle mineral and garrigue accents. Clean and fresh, with lively red berry flavors, gentle tannins and a long, creamy finish. This is drinking awfully well now.

2003 Domaine Duclaux Chateauneuf du Pape

Dark red. Ripe and sweet on the nose, with dark berry fruit accented by licorice and grilled meat. Offers thick, creamy flavors of lush cassis and cherry, tinged with black pepper and mocha. Round, sweet and long on the silky finish.
