Châteauneuf du Pape Domaine du Vieux Lazaret White

Tasting Notes from the Curator

The Châteauneuf du Pape White from Domaine du Vieux Lazaret unfurls a scent allegory of orange blossoms and early morning orchard air, at once both invigorating and serene. On the palate, a symphony of stone fruits serenade amidst a field of citrus, where tangerine, lemon, and a hint of white grapefruit dance on a stage of honeyed sweetness. Embellishing this melodic fruit procession are notes of almond, a whisper of sun-warmed earth, beckoning a savory counterpoint to the burgeoning sweetness. The velvety full-bodied tapestry of this white replicates the comfort of a well-worn book in hand, with a texture that suggests the embrace of an old leather armchair, as familiar as it is sumptuous. It is further distinguished by the narrative of its maturation, the minerality becoming ever the more pronounced with age, adding alluring complexity and bidding the connoisseur’s palate to partake in a journey through time within each sip.
