The Tardieu Laurent estate in the Rhône: a rigorous wine merchant with a beautiful range

The wines of Tardieu Laurent estate

The TARDIEU-LAURENT house was created by Michel Tardieu in 1996 and established itself in Lourmarin (84). From the partnership between two great figures (Michel Tardieu and Dominique Laurent, an exceptional vinifier/ager from Burgundy), only Michel Tardieu remains since the early 2000s, who is now assisted by his son Bastien and his daughter Camille.

Here, high-end wine trading is practiced through excellent sourcing and a keen sense of vinification and aging. The Michel Tardieu house produces a range of consistent wines with a modern spirit. A very comprehensive wine merchant present in multiple appellations, secured by rigorously selected fine sourcing in the Northern Rhône and the Southern Rhône (as well as in Bandol). Michel Tardieu states, "It is by never ceasing to taste wines from the best winemakers of all regions that one acquires the culture of 'good,' an essential foundation for understanding wine and terroir…". In the wide range of white Rhône cuvées from Maison Tardieu-Laurent, the Condrieu presents aromas of citron and lime zest. The palate is linear, chiseled, fine and delicate, with beautiful energy. The white Hermitage with 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne offers notes of white currant, crushed stone, charcoal and acacia flower on the nose; the wine is full-bodied, deep and powerful on the palate. With good acidity and a long finish. The white Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes composed of 40% Grenache Blanc, 30% Roussanne, 20% Clairette and 10% Bourboulenc is creamy and seductive in style, with notes of lemon sorbet, white peach, yellow apple, fennel and jasmine, warm brioche completes its finish. Regarding red Rhône wines, the Saint Joseph Vieilles Vignes offers notes of violet, bacon, olive tapenade and pepper; it is elegant and balanced with good intensity, ripe tannins and a beautiful finish. To be drunk within 8-10 years. The red Hermitage shows great character in a ripe bouquet of black raspberries, melted licorice, roasted meat and smoky flavors and aromas. This full-bodied and powerful wine presents rich fruit, ripe and smooth tannins, an ample mid-palate and a beautiful finish. The Châteauneuf-du-Pape is well-structured, with pulpy fruit and balanced substance that is not overly powerful. The Cuvée Spéciale is more subtle, with Grenache that reveals itself unreservedly with notes of flowers and macerated fruits. The palate fully asserts its voluptuousness and airy power. Made almost entirely from Grenache, this special cuvée will improve over 10 to 15 years. The most patient will know how to enjoy it.
