Red Wine: 2007 | Tardieu-Laurent | Hermitage

Like many of the ’07 Hermitages, this isn’t a huge wine, but instead shows a nice sense of proportion, marrying hickory smoke with touches of cracked peppercorns, cedar and roasted beef.

Producer Information

Tardieu-Laurent is a French négociant enterprise known for the consistently high quality of its wines, which come from the Rhône Valley and from other parts of southern France. It was set up in 1994 by Dominque Laurent and Michel Tardieu, though is now run solely by the latter. The company has no vineyard holdings. Rather, it buys young wines, which are then matured and blended before bottling. Despite this, Tardieu-Laurent is very much an artisan producer – around 20 barrels only are made of each wine every year. While the cellars are located in the Luberon, the wines fall under various red and white Rhône appellations, including Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Cornas and Côtes du Rhône. Tardieu-Laurent also make a Tavel rosé and a red Bandol. The wines are all aged in small oak barrels, often with 100 percent new oak, and are bottled without fining or filtration. The wines often show creamy notes from the oak, though Michel Tardieu insists his intention is to showcase the fruit and express a sense of place for each appellation.
