Rated estate (2020 guide): 5*Stars (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)
About the estate:
Michel Tardieu and Dominique Laurent founded this prestigious winery in the early 1990s, establishing themselves as one of the top micro-negociants in the Rhône Valley. Today, Bastien and Michel Tardieu travel the vineyards to source the finest grapes, typically from very old vines, often located in the historic heart of each appellation. A real transformation has taken place over the last few vintages: large-capacity casks, whole-cluster vinification for certain cuvées, and—above all—more measured aging have raised the already excellent standard to an even higher level. A sure bet in the region.

Wine rated 17/20 (2012 vintage) (Remarkable)
6-Star Rated Estate (Exceptional Production)
About the estate:
A wine enthusiast, Michel Tardieu teamed up with Dominique Laurent, the brilliant Burgundian wine merchant and winemaker, to start a small wine trading business about ten years ago. Michel Tardieu is unrivaled when it comes to unearthing cuvées from old vines across all the Rhône appellations; add to that Dominique Laurent’s expertise in aging—with his magnificent barrels—and you have a dynamic duo that crafts the most extraordinary cuvées in the Rhône.

Rated estate (2020 guide): 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
This small, high-end wine merchant was founded in the early 1990s by Michel Tardieu and Dominique Laurent in the Rhône Valley. Thanks to exceptional grape sources and a keen sense of winemaking and aging, Michel Tardieu produces a consistent range of wines with a modern sensibility. This cutting-edge wine merchant, with carefully selected grape sources from both the southern and northern parts of the Rhône Valley, has earned its second star this year.
