Product Description
"Over the course of the centuries and throughout their family
history the Quiot family, winemakers since 1748, have established
wonderful properties which are constantly being enlarged. The story
begins in the Vaucluse, at Chateauneuf-du-Pape where Antoine Quiot
acquired a few hectares of vines in 1748. Today, the Domaine du Vieux
Lazaret comprises more than 100 hectares with some of the land located
in the Côtes du Ventoux region. The 13th generation of the family
currently work the estate. Next, close to Aix en Provence at the foot
of Mont Sainte Victoire, the Domaine Houchart came into the family in
1890. It was added to with the Domaine de Verlaque in 2002. Today,
Florence and Jean-Baptiste are the fifth generation to work the estate.
Back to Chateauneuf-du-Pape where the Domaine Duclaux was established in the 1750s and has been worked by the Quiot family since 1987. The Duclaux family’s final descendant, Emmeline, passed away in 2001 and left the estate to Florence and Jean-Baptiste. In 2000, the Quiot family diversified into wine selection, complimenting the range of wines from their own estates. Finally, after looking to expand into the Rhône area for a long time, the Quiot family bought the Château du Trignon in 2006 and in 2008 enlarged it with 10 hectares of Vacqueyras grapes and 2 hectares of Beaumes de Venise grapes." - Winery Notes
