"A model of precision and complexity that will delight lovers of this vintage"

“An expressive nose of black fruit, roasted meat, smoke, and dried leaves, with pastry spices and notes of a crackling fire. It is full-bodied with finely grained tannins. Smooth texture and character. An elegant Hermitage with power that is masterfully controlled at every stage. Precise and concentrated, it nonetheless displays vibrant fruit at its core, with succulent cherries and wild redcurrants that bring freshness and vigor. A superb wine.” (James Suckling 2024)

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 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.

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.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 16,5++/20

About the wine:

A powerful nose of licorice—heavier and more full-bodied than that of the Côte Rôtie Vieilles Vignes. It then becomes smooth, with a hint of oak. It needs a little time to mellow. Grand and bold, but for now it’s more about the individual elements than a finished wine.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 92/100

About the wine:

The 2021 Hermitage features vivid notes of raspberry, red cherry, leaves, cedar, and violet. Smooth and round, the 2021 delights the palate with its great concentration and juicy fruitiness.

About the wine:

An expressive nose of black fruit, roasted meat, smoke, and dried leaves, with pastry spices and notes of a crackling fire. It is full-bodied with finely grained tannins. Smooth texture and character. An elegant Hermitage with well-controlled power at every stage. Precise and concentrated, it nonetheless displays vibrant fruit at its core, with succulent cherries and wild redcurrants that bring freshness and vigor. A superb wine. Enjoy now, but it will be at its best starting in 2026.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 92/100

About the wine:

Exotic cherry and raspberry, along with spring flowers, spices, and notes of succulent herbs, all shine through in Michel Tardieu’s 2021 Hermitage—one of the most concentrated, structured, and textured 2021 vintages in the range. With medium-bodied richness, ripe tannins, and a core of ripe, structured fruit, this beautiful Hermitage will continue to age magnificently for another 10 to 15 years if stored properly.
