WINE DESCRIPTION
Tardieu-Laurent Vieilles Vignes Saint-Joseph is a premium wine produced by Tardieu-Laurent, a renowned winery in the Rhône Valley. The wine is made from old vines grown in the Saint-Joseph appellation, which is known for its steep slopes and granite soils. The vineyard features a unique microclimate that allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting and aging in oak barrels, which adds depth and richness to the wine. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and elegant red with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. It is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts who appreciate the complexity and finesse of a well-crafted wine.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Tardieu-Laurent Vieilles Vignes Saint-Joseph is a powerful and complex red wine.On the nose, aromas of blackberry, tobacco, and leather are complemented by notes of spice, herbs, and dried flowers. On the palate, the wine has a silky texture and a long finish filled with dark fruits, vanilla, and a touch of minerality. It is a well-structured, balanced, and incredibly enjoyable wine.

ORIGINS
Winery: Tardieu-Laurent
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
