Why We're Buying
Domaine Mas de Boislauzon produces four Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines, but none is more iconic than Le Quet. Debuted in 1996, the blend of grenache-mourvèdre is currently the third most valuable wine in the region. There are only 425 cases released each year, so demand always outpaces supply.
Critics Scores
Wine Spectator
A dark, chewy style, with serious layers of fig, briar, espresso and loam. But this isn't top-heavy, with a beam of blackberry fruit running through the finish and enough well-embedded acidity for length and balance. Impressive. Best from 2008 through 2027.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee du Quet exhibits a dense ruby/purple color to the rim and broad, impressive aromatics of spring flowers, melted licorice, camphor, and blue and black fruits. In the mouth it is layered, powerful, full-bodied, with high tannin, beautiful purity, and a finish that exceeds 45 seconds. This is a knock-out wine. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2025.
