Tardieu-Laurent, Vielles Vignes, Saint Joseph 2020

Black cassis, violets, fresh & spiced palate

"Irresistible juicy aromas of black cassis, bramble jam, fresh rose, violets and a touch of fresh earth fill the glass. The wine exudes freshness and purity throughout. The palate is particularly lovely, showcasing pure cherry and blackberry fruit accented by just the right amount of baking spice. Enjoy immediately or stash a few bottles in the cellar."

About the producer

Back in 1996, driven by his love of the wines produced in the Rhone Valley , Michel Tardieu created Tardieu-Laurent in Lourmarin in the heart of his native Provence. Since then, Michel and his wife Michèle have been dedicated to unearthing the most beautiful plots, the most beautiful grapes and bringing them to their peak thanks to rigorous but respectful vinification and aging. More recently they has been joined in the business by their children Bastien and Camille Tardieu.
