“ A fresh, elegant profile, with inviting blackcurrant and raspberry notes, along with hints of fruit puree and a touch of iron. It reveals a subtle floral note on the finish, while the fruit and minerality engage in a beautiful interplay.” (Wine Spectator - 2019)

Wine rated 17/20 (Benchmark wine)

Rated estate (2020 guide): 5*Stars (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)

About the wine:

A Crozes with intense aromas of violet and licorice, with a smooth and delicate mouthfeel that finishes with notes of spice.

About the estate:

Michel Tardieu and Dominique Laurent founded this prestigious winery in the early 1990s, establishing themselves as one of the finest micro-negociants in the Rhône Valley. Today, Bastien and Michel Tardieu travel throughout 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 in recent 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.

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.

Wine rated (2019 guide) 90–92/100 (Excellent wine)

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

Hailing from the Gervans and Larnage regions, the 2017 Crozes Hermitage Vieilles Vignes is a real success. Peppery and herbaceous notes stand out against a backdrop of ripe cherries and hints of vanilla. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, it is rich and concentrated yet very drinkable, with a lively finish that invites you to take another sip.

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 wine:

This wine is full of lively energy, with notes of violet and pepper. Fresh and taut, it is precise, with a hint of the granite’s graphite character coming through. The palate is savory, with substantial body, and the wine is very well-balanced overall.

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 flair. This cutting-edge wine merchant, sourcing meticulously selected grapes from both the southern and northern parts of the Rhône Valley, has been awarded its second star this year.
