2022 Tardieu-Laurent Gigondas "Vieilles Vignes", Rhône Valley, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
Vinification follows the house's signature micro-négociant philosophy, focusing on extremely old vines (ranging from 60 to over 100 years old). Produced from grapes grown on the foothills of the Dentelles de Montmirail mountain range, which is composed of limestone and marl at about 400m above sea level. Approximately 75% (three-quarters) of the harvest kept whole cluster. The wine is fermented traditionally before being aged 12 month in Foudres.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Tardieu-Laurent, founded by Michel Tardieu in 1996, has become one of the Rhône Valley’s most respected négociant-producers. Working closely with trusted growers, the estate focuses on low yields, old vines, and minimal intervention to craft wines that express site and vintage with clarity. Known for both power and precision, Tardieu-Laurent consistently delivers wines of depth and integrity. “Les Becs Fins” reflects the house style—structured yet approachable, rooted in tradition yet refined in execution.
