Wine Advocate rating: 93..."The deep purple-hued, savory Vieux Lazaret 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Exceptionnelle (a blend of 90% concrete-aged Grenache and 10% small barrel-aged Syrah from 40- to 85-year-old vines) is a richer, fuller, more intense and compelling example of the traditional cuvee. Given the voluptuous nature and opulence of the 2009 vintage, this wine can be drunk now or cellared for 15 years. It is expansive and full-bodied with copious black cherry and black raspberry fruit notes intertwined with hints of licorice and incense. This seductive effort is irresistible.
With 225 acres, Jerome Quiot, one of the largest landholders in Chateauneuf 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."
