Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc

The vineyards of Domaine du Vieux Lazaret are spread over 90 hectares, split into 35 different parcels of vines throughout Chateauneuf-du-Pape. It is today amongst the largest domains in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, with 80 hectares planted in red grape varieties and 10 planted with white grapes. The number of parcels enables the Domaine du Vieux Lazaret to give greater complexity to its wines due to the diversity of soils, grape types and differing ages of vines. 'A penetrating strike of honey lends richness to zingy notes of tart nectarine and apricot in this bright-fruited wine. A blend of 45% Grenache Blanc, 30% Clairette, 20% Bourboulenc and just 5% barrel-fermented Roussanne, its fruit profile is scintillating and pure, accented by a hint of smoky, toasty perfume.' - Wine Enthusiast - 94 points
