Condrieu Maison Tardieu-Laurent 2010
The wine
To create this Condrieu, the domain grew its grapes organically before carrying out alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, as well as a 10-month élevage in both new and used barrels. It has a unique bouquet marked by hints of lime zest and citron. In the mouth, its energy surprises with its chiselled, fine and delicate profile.
About the Producer Tardieu-Laurent
Michel Tardieu's future might have seemed perfectly mapped out, when he was working as a civil servant and tending vineyards in the Rhone Valley in his spare time. But in 1996 he decided to take a giant leap and concentrate on his passion by going into partnership with Burgundy wine négociant Dominique Laurent. Together, they established Maison Tardieu-Laurent in Loumarin in the heart of Michel's native Provence. Since then, they have both worked hard to track down the best vineyard plots in the Rhone terroir. And thanks to a meticulous and skilful barrel-maturing process they produce wines with excellent ageing potential. Today, Michel Tardieu still works as a négociant and consultant oenologist but has been joined in the business by his children Bastien and Camille.
