Tardieu-Laurent is a family-run micro-négociant, founded in 1994, known for sourcing grapes from old vines across the Rhône region and crafting expressive, terroir-driven wines with minimal intervention. The Côtes-du-Rhône Cuvée Spéciale is made predominantly from 95% old-vine Grenache (approximately 70 years old), with a small addition of other varietals (5%). Sourced from vineyards on the borders of the AOC Châteauneuf, on the Courthézon side, the wine is fermented with 100% whole bunches and aged for eight months in 2- and 3-year-old barrels, followed by a further ten months in foudres. A stunning expression of Grenache, this wine showcases the finesse and aromatic complexity that come from carefully matured old vines. Sweet spices and grenadine dominate on the nose and palate, with a silky texture and subtle elegance enhancing its overall charm.
