The estate and the wine |
|
|
Imposing their uncompromising and ultra qualitative vision, Bastien and Michel Tardieu continue their path to excellence today, crisscrossing the vineyards from top to bottom to track down the best terroirs and select the best grapes, generally from very old vines and often located in the historic heart of each appellation.
Their art of maturing has made their reputation and reveals generous and finely defined wines, thanks to large capacity barrels, the use of whole harvest and above all a carefully thought maturing. |

The 2018 Red Crozes-Hermitage Vieilles Vignes offers the quintessence of this appellation, in an aromatic profile that is both fresh and smoky, with notes of bacon and black olives. The palate is full and concentrated with delicate tannins that should develop a nice patina in the coming months. Praised for its complexity and balance, this wine promises good aging potential, in the order of 6 to 8 years. Rated 93/100 by our Selection Committee. |
