Ruby red color not very heavy. The nose reveals floral notes, aromas of berries, raspberry, strawberries, cherries and spicy nuances and marascate. The taste is elegant with light fruity notes, intense freshness and a good persistence.

The wine exhibits savoury red fruit, a regional earthiness and hallmark silky tannins. Tardieu-Laurent are regarded as one of the consistenly high performers of the Rhone Valley.

The nose is abundant with red and blue fruits also seen on the palate, which is juicy, full bodied and underpinned by fine tannins. Further breathing reveals more layers of flavour and complexity after the initial tranche of bright fruits. A superb example of this most versatile of varietals
