About this Item
Domaine du Vieux Lazaret is one of the largest estates in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Quiot family's property, making traditional, generous Grenache-based reds from vineyards spread across the appellation. 2007 stands as one of the greatest modern vintages in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a rich, ripe and celebrated year. Jancis Robinson gave it 17 out of 20.
Provenance
The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.
For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.
Critics Ratings
"Quite animal and open. Stewed griottes on the nose then real life on the palate. Very lively transparent wine. Not the densest – perhaps from higher, lighter soils? – but very sincere and fresh." - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Aug 2009)
