Robert Parker

Yohan Castaing

Evoking a ripe, spicy bouquet, the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape from Tardieu-Laurent offers up aromas of dark cherries, garrigue, smoke and black berries. Medium to full-bodied, dense and rich, it has structured tannins with an oxidative profile that segues into a dry finish. This blend of 80% Grenache Noir, 15% Mourvèdre and 5% Syrah is very ripe and muscular.

Jancis Robinson

75% Grenache (60–80 years old), 10% Syrah (40 years old), 10% Mourvèdre (60–80 years old), 5% Cinsault (60–80 years old). Half destemmed. From Plateau de Mont Redon, Les Bédines, la Crau, Cabrières, Pignan, le Cristia. Aged 10 months in one- and two-year-old barrels plus another 10 months in foudre (Allier, Tronçais). No fining, no filtration. Cask sample. Nuanced blackish crimson. Pale rim. Nose seems more evolved than some of the other 2022 southern Rhône reds from this address. Bloody and sweet and complete. I could happily drink this tonight! Though there’s a big tannic undertow that impinges on the finish. Masses of pleasure here. Though a fair bit of alcohol on the end. (JR)

La RVF

An open nose in a juicy, well-ripened register (black fruits, cocoa, spices, maquis). The palate asserts its power and breadth, with chew and substance. The tannic framework from the oak brings length. This is a cellar-worthy vintage that needs time to come together.

Description

The smoothness and precision of a Châteauneuf-du-Pape red wine

The estate

Passionate about wine and terroirs, Michel Tardieu created in 1996 with his wife the estate Tardieu Laurent which over the vintages has become an essential reference among the most beautiful wine labels of the Rhône Valley.

For two generations, this family estate has magnified the terroirs of emblematic appellations (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Condrieu, Hermitage, Vacqueyras, Saint-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage ...) through aromatic and delicate wines resulting from rigorous vinification.

The vineyard

Planted on a mosaic of terroirs (Plateau de Mont Redon, les Bédines, la Crau, Cabrières, Pignan), the vines aged 40 to 80 years (grenache and mourvèdre: 60 to 80 years, syrah: 40 years) give birth to great Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines.

The vintage

The recent years powerfully illustrate the impact of climate change on the Rhône vineyard. After a cool 2021 vintage marked by frost, 2022 stands out as its opposite: an excessively dry and sunny year, raising questions about the future of the wine region.

Faced with a drought of rare intensity, the vine once again demonstrated admirable resilience. However, this vintage is distinguished by a strong heterogeneity between the appellations and within the terroirs themselves. The late summer rains played a decisive role, saving some plots from extreme water stress.

If 2022 reserves beautiful successes, it requires rigorous selection. More than ever, tasting at the estate is essential to appreciate the diversity and uniqueness of the wines from this contrasting year.

Vinification and aging

The harvest is destemmed by 50% before vinification. The aging lasts 10 months in barrels of one and two wines then 10 months in foudress.

Blend

Grenache (75%), syrah (10%), mourvèdre (10%) and cinsault (5%).
