Michel Tardieu is amongst the best winemakers in France . His wonderful wines are scarce and sought after, even though he does not have his own vineyards. In 1996, together with his friend Dominique Laurent, he founded the Tardieu–Laurent winery. His concept: To buy the finest grapes from the selected best plots from good winegrowers in the region in order to vinify top wines in his own cellar. From Condrieu and St. Joseph in the north, to the Rhône legend Châteauneuf-du-Pape, no wish remains unfulfilled.
Tardieu's Viognier style focuses on longevity. Highly concentrated yellow fruits of peach, apricot and mango, plus honey and nuts. On the palate incredibly full and creamy, intense minerality, multi-layered and multifaceted. A condrieu with power and great potential. Put it away and ideally wait four to five years!
