Since 1994, Maison Tardieu-Laurent has selected and matured wines from very old vines and from the best terroirs of each appellation. Partnered until 2007 with Dominique Laurent, known for the concentration of his Burgundy wines, Michel Tardieu has, because of the innate richness of Rhone Valley wines, always sought to favor elegance and aromatic complexity in his selections. Thanks to their precise selection of the best terroirs and their expertise in winemaking and ageing, Michel and his son Bastien produce great wines from the north to the south of the Rhône Valley.
Rated two stars in the Revue du Vin de France Guide.
More round and fleshy than Côte-Rôtie, with a texture of fat, melting tannins, the sunny side of the Hermitage hillside is perfectly brought out here, with all the complexity brought by vines aged 60 years or more.
