Domaine Vieux Lazaret Wine
In 1748 Antoine Quiot, who
already owned land on the
banks of the Rhône growing
wheat, vines and other crops,
bought his first Chateauneuf-
du-pape vines. It was 12
salmées (8 hectares) in size.
In 1793, his grandson Jean
Baptiste bought the Tour de
Lhers, an old tower next to
the Rhône which had become
a national property during the
Revolution after being
confiscated from an
aristocratic French family
(Rohan-Soubise). It was a
vast estate of 100 hectares.
He built a house there, which
his family still live in today,
using stones from the old
château. He married the
daughter of a landowner who
was guillotined during the
Revolution and was made
mayor of Chateauneuf in
1815 and 1835.
From this period onwards (the
beginning of the 19th century)
the wines from our estate
were sold in bottles or casks
and marketed to connoisseur
clients. The Viscountess of
Castellane, who was the
grandmother of Fouché,
minister of police for
Napoleon 1st, was one of
them.
Her son Jean married the
descendant of an old
winemaking family who
owned the land around Vieux
Lazaret (an old hospital used
to quarantine and treat
patients during the great
epidemics of the 17th and
18th centuries) and he settled
in Chateauneuf du Pape
where he was mayor from
1852 to 1860.
He moved the estate’s
headquarters to Vieux Lazaret
and slowly enlarged it through
marriage or purchase. In
1873, woodland was bought to
satisfy the family’s passion for
hunting (The Combes
d'Arnevels).
In 1875 the entire vineyard
was destroyed by phylloxera,
a small insect that eats the
roots of vines, eventually
killing them. Our family was
ruined and took up quarrying,
the silk trade and farming
(wheat and cereals). The
vineyard was replanted
primarily with Grenache
grapes. Neither the 1914-
1918 war, the economic crisis
of 1929 nor the Second World
War were helpful to the
expansion or development of
the estate.
In 1980 Geneviève and
Jérôme Quiot decided to
relaunch bottle sales. |
