✨ Technical Specifications
Named 'Les Becs Fins' in honor of passionate gourmands and epicureans, this C$tes-du-Rh$ne Rouge is a vibrant testament to Tardieu-Laurent's mastery of the Rh$ne Valley's diverse terroirs. Sourced from meticulously selected old vines, this cuv&e beautifully marries the structure and spice of Syrah with the warm, generous red fruit of Grenache. The wine is crafted with minimal intervention, utilizing a combination of concrete tanks and older oak barrels to preserve its fresh, primary fruit character while adding a refined texture. It captures the sun-drenched spirit of the region, offering a rich tapestry of dark berries, wild garrigue herbs, and subtle cracked black pepper.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1994 by Michel Tardieu and Dominique Laurent, Maison Tardieu-Laurent is a prestigious micro-négociant based in the picturesque village of Lourmarin within the Luberon region of southern France. Today managed by Michel Tardieu alongside his son Bastien, the house operates as an exceptional 'négociant-éleveur', selecting pristine fruit and young wines exclusively from very old vines across top crus of the Rhône Valley. Renowned for their uncompromising dedication to terroir and traditional élevage, they mature their wines patiently in custom-crafted French oak barrels without fining or filtration. Tardieu-Laurent is celebrated worldwide for its richly concentrated, structured, and age-worthy red and white expressions spanning appellations such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Hermitage, Cornas, and their renowned Les Becs Fins Côtes du Rhône.
