Tardieu Laurent

Maison Tardieu-Laurent - Condrieu Vieilles Vignes 2023

"A Condrieu to be recommended in every way!

"Condrieu Vieilles Vignes 2023 is another tour de force from this producer. Stone fruits, roasted nuts, orange liqueur and crushed stones give this wine a slightly more mineral, masculine style. The medium- to full-bodied palate is concentrated, pure and structured, with great freshness and remarkable length, and a touch of salinity on the finish. It is destined for the table and should drink well through 2033." (Jeb Dunnuck 2024)

Maison Tardieu-Laurent - Hermitage rouge 2021

"A model of precision and complexity that will delight lovers of this vintage".

"Expressive nose of dark fruits, roasted meat, smoke and dried leaves, with baking spices and hints of fireplace. Full-bodied, with finely grained tannins. Suave texture and character. An elegant Hermitage with controlled power at every stage. Precise and concentrated, it nonetheless has a bright fruity center, with succulent cherries and wild currants bringing freshness and vigor. A superb wine." (James Suckling 2024)

Maison Tardieu-Laurent - Côtes-du-Rhône Les Becs Fins blanc 2023

"The perfect companion for your lunches!"

Les Becs Fins blanc offers a very fruity, exotic style, with a lovely freshness. The nose is inviting and charming, the palate flattering, bright and harmonious. The whole is perfectly balanced. It has the structure of Grenache Blanc and the softness of Viognier. A beautiful blend that will accompany you as an aperitif and throughout your meal.

Maison Tardieu-Laurent - Côtes-du-Rhône Les Becs Fins rouge 2023

Cuvée Les Becs Fins is made from a blend of equal parts Syrah and Grenache from a terroir of rolled pebbles in the Gard department.

Maison Tardieu-Laurent - Côte-Rôtie Vieilles Vignes 2021

"A contemporary Syrah with freshness and finesse!

Maison Tardieu-Laurent - Hermitage blanc 2021

5/5 (1 review)

"A great gastronomic white

"Big, ripe, opulent and sexy, Hermitage Blanc 2021 has orchard fruit and honeyed quince, medium to full body, nuances of acacia flowers and spice, a structured, decadent palate, and that rare blend of freshness and richness that's so hard to come by." (Jeb Dunnuck 2023)

Maison Tardieu-Laurent - Rasteau Vieilles Vignes 2021

4/5 (3 reviews)

Rasteau Vieilles Vignes 2021, aged ten months in barrel and ten months in cask, has a brilliant purple color. Playful and delicate on the nose, it oscillates between floral and fruity, with scents of raspberry and black fruit. Surprisingly fresh acidity gives this Rasteau an interesting freshness. The palate is creamy with lightly polished tannins. Well-controlled power and complexity.

Maison Tardieu-Laurent - Saint-Joseph Vieilles Vignes 2019

3.5/5 (2 reviews)

"Another killer wine, the Saint-Joseph Vieilles Vignes 2019 reveals a dense purple color and exudes lots of red and blue fruits, bacon fat, charcuterie and spring flowers. This is a Saint-Joseph on minerality, rather rich and full-bodied, with good acidity and tannins. It will shine for 15 years or more. " (Jeb Dunnuck).

Maison Tardieu-Laurent - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes 2020

4/5 (2 reviews)

Made from terroirs planted with old vines, this Châteauneuf blanc can be drunk young, with aromas of white flowers and white fruits, lightly wooded. It's a digestible, typical wine, with notes of fennel and garrigue, which can also be laid down, developing aromas of wax, walnut and dried fruit on fine bitters. Enjoy with lobster, shellfish, noble fish such as sea bass, sweetbreads, morel chicken or truffle brouillade...

Maison Tardieu-Laurent - Cornas Coteaux 2019

4/5 (1 review)

An explosive nose of spices and morello cherry. Full-bodied and slender on the palate. The wine reminds us of an almost glamorous expression of Northern Rhône Syrah. An appetizing, racy wine - Attention, very limited quantities!

Maison Tardieu-Laurent - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Spéciale 2018

4.5/5 (4 reviews)

"Medium purple. Spicy nose with real energy. Round and soft and distinctly Burgundian. Such a flirt! Excellent balance between fruit and acidity. Bravissimo. A real tour de force. Concentration, weight and lift. Denser than this producer's generic 2018 Châteauneuf. " (Jancis Robinson - 2020)

Maison Tardieu-Laurent - Côtes-du-Rhône Guy Louis rouge 2018

4.5/5 (2 reviews)

"Deeply colored, the 2018 Côtes Du Rhône Guy Louis is a blend of 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah and balanced Mourvèdre that has been largely destemmed and aged in second-fill barrels. It offers beautiful purity and precision in its aromas and flavors of black raspberry, spicy wood, garrigue and pepper. Medium- to full-bodied, balanced and seamless on the palate, this is a gorgeous, easy wineto enjoy over the next 4-6 years." (Jeb Dunnuck 2019) Great success!

Maison Tardieu-Laurent - Gigondas Vieilles Vignes 2018

4.5/5 (4 reviews)

"Gigondas Vieilles Vignes 2018 is 80% Grenache, with the remaining 20% divided equally between Mourvèdre and Syrah. Two-thirds of the harvest were not destemmed, and the wine was aged in previously used barrels for 10 months, then in foudre. This is a high-flying achievement, with flamboyant aromas of herbal tea and red raspberries. Medium to full-bodied, the texture is silky, with a long, vibrant finish that ends with a wave of supple tannins." (Wine Advocate 2020) The archetypal good Mediterranean Wine!

Maison Tardieu Laurent - Crozes-Hermitage Vieilles Vignes 2017

4/5 (2 reviews)

" Fresh, racy touch, with engaging blackcurrant and raspberry coulis notes stretched over a hint of iron. Shows a slight floral lift on the finish, while fruit and minerality play off each other in a beautiful exchange." (Wine Spectator - 2019)

Maison Tardieu-Laurent - Côtes-du-Rhône Guy Louis blanc 2016

3/5 (2 reviews)

This atypical blend of old Grenache, Clairette, Marsanne and Viognier vines produces a digestible white Côtes du Rhône that's a pleasure to drink. 2016, a superb vintage!
