Domaine Tardieu-Laurent was established in 1994. It is a partnership between Dominique Laurent, a former pattisier (and with the girth to go with it) and one of the hottest names in Burgundy, and Michel Tardieu, a dynamic young winemaker. Tardieu-Laurent is an extremely unusual operation in that they are a négociant only, buying young wines from growers all over the Rhône, which they mature and blend before bottling. They own no vineyards and don't buy grapes, only wine.
Tardieu-Laurent is very much an "artisan" producer, making between half a dozen and 20 or so barrels of each wine. The majority of the wines are from the southern Rhône although superb cuvees of Cote Rôtie and Hermitage are also produced. The wines are all aged in small oak casks (often 100% new) and bottled with no fining nor filtration. Michel Tardieu proclaims himself as a confirmed terroirist, insisting that his aim with each appellation is to express powerfully the fruit and sense of place, never masking these factors with wood.

This is a characteristically earthy wine, traditional in style. It already exudes spicy hints of the garrigues - a typical Mediterranean scrub - as well as pepper and bay leaf. The antithesis of modern and international wines!

This is an exceptional terroir, unique and legendary. The persistence of this wine leaves you speechless, with an explosion of blackcurrant, leather and cassis. A great wine for laying down, it warrants good cellaring. Patience will be rewarded as it achieves its full potential.

The Dentelles terroir has given of its best in this vintage. Aromatic freshness is mixed with beautifully concentrated dark fruit, cassis and spices. The palate is long and persistent with fine, though evident tannins. Aging will round off this Gigondas - ideal for laying down for a few...

A wine with great potential. It is fine, elegant, yet powerful. Unfortunately the yields were tiny: quantities are very limited!

Slightly reserved and finer in style, the blend here is
dominated by Syrah, which was so successful in 2011,
providing considerable charm - instant pleasure!
Blend: 60% Syrah, 40% Grenache

This Rasteau is a worthy ambassador of the terroir. The appellation was upgraded to cru this year; a long-awaited and well deserved distinction. Exemplary southern Rhone in style, it has a forward style, great concentration and warrants several years in the cellar.
Blend: 75% Grenache, 25% Syrah

This is a great expression of the Cote Brune, or brown slope, terroir in the north, at once mineral and floral. Dark and concentrated, it is reminiscent of the great Cote-Rotie of yesteryear.

This shows fresh fruit, intensely concentrated due to the very low yields of the old vines. An extraordinary wine, it is bound to surprise.

Very severe, strict sorting selections, which made quantities quite small. Notes of red cherries, blackberries and forest floor on the nose. An elegant, medium-bodied red with silky tannins and good acidity, making it ideal for drinking over the next several years.
