✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Nobles Origines' Rouge by Tardieu-Laurent is a tribute to the deep-rooted viticultural history of the Southern Rhône Valley, where vines have been cultivated since the Roman era. As a premier micro-négoce, Tardieu-Laurent applies the same rigorous standards to this cuvée as they do to their most prestigious crus. Sourced from selected parcels of old vines, the wine captures the essence of the region's sun-drenched terroirs. The name 'Nobles Origines' reflects a philosophy of honoring the noble heritage of these ancient soils. In the cellar, minimal intervention and precise aging in seasoned oak barrels allow the vibrant fruit, wild herb (garrigue) aromas, and signature Rhône spices to express themselves with exceptional purity and elegance.

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.
