Description
 
Michel Tardieu's future might have seemed perfectly mapped out, when he was working as a civil servant and tending vineyards in the Rhone Valley in his spare time. But in 1996 he decided to take a giant leap and concentrate on his passion by going into partnership with Burgundy wine négociant Dominique Laurent. Together, they established Maison Tardieu-Laurent in Loumarin in the heart of Michel's native Provence. Since then, they have both worked hard to track down the best vineyard plots in the Rhone terroir. And thanks to a meticulous and skilful barrel-maturing process they produce wines with excellent ageing potential. Today, Michel Tardieu still works as a négociant and consultant oenologist but has been joined in the business by his children Bastien and Camille.

Very fleshy, with lots of dark cocoa, tar, black currant, truffle and licorice notes pumping through from start to finish. There's lots of grip, but this is well-rounded and fully integrated. Has a great encore of dark fruit and loam on the finish. Best from 2009 through 2023. Wine Spectator 94, Jancis Robinson 18/20
