Domaine Comte de Lauze Chateauneuf-du-Pape (Mystery Vintage!)

Why We Love It

Domaine Comte de Lauze is located in the northwest of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape appellation in a town called Cabrières. Hand-harvesting, traditional cask ageing, and decades of experience combine to make a classic Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

We took a chance and picked this beauty up at auction despite, as you can see from the picture, not being able to tell the vintage! We tried one bottle and loved it, whatever year it is. While great, because it's an unknown vintage (and a bottle that's certainly seen better days), we're pricing this bottle to be fun experiment for the adventurous type.

Important Notes on Cabinet Wines

Many of the wines we sell in the Cabinet are from old vintages. Ageing can have truly wonderful effects on wine. Those effects are influenced by a range of factors, both within and outside the bottle, meaning two bottles from the same vintage may have different profiles. If you are new to older wines—and if so, welcome!—please keep in mind that you may encounter a range of flavours and aromas not found in younger wines.
