The Quiot family, winemakers since 1748, offer a large range of wines from the Rhône Valley and the Provence area. Jerome Quiot’s vineyards at Domaine du Vieux Lazaret, Domaine Duclaux and Les Combes D’Arnevel have a diverse terroir that has given him incredible insight into what is possible in this fascinating appellation. Jerome has helped bring about modern winemaking techniques and with the help of his son Jean Baptiste, an agricultural engineer, they have created some of the most impressive and approachable wines available in the Southern Rhone and Provence.
