From the
Arnoux family, the Côtes du Rhône Villages ‘Vieux Clocher’
is a
deserved gold medal winner, while their excellent Vacqueyras offers
greater intensity of blackcurrant fruit. Châteauneuf-du-Pape ‘Vieux Lazaret’
from one of the region’s largest landowners, Jérôme Quiot, has proved a
huge
success since its introduction on to our list. As a substantial
landowner, he is not shackled by the market and, besides, makes
structured,
stylish wines that win many medals. His ‘Cuvée Exceptionnelle
is
one of the best Chateauneuf reds that I have tasted for many years.
Made from the oldest vines in the vineyard
it is a wine of stunning
complexity and only available in the tiniest
quantities.

Châteauneuf Blanc
from
Jérôme Quiot
has complex citrus fruit flavours.
While it will age for some
years, I suggest you should drink it now and
make the most of its exuberant
youthful fruit. The medal-winning
sweet Muscat de Beaumes de Venise is
delicate with an
apricot & peaches bouquet.
