Wine Spectator

James Molesworth

There's a flashy shortbread aromatic leading off here, but this stays bright and lively thanks to well-defined yellow apple and mirabelle notes. Verbena and quinine underscore the finish, adding focus and length. Delicious. Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette, Bourboulenc and Picpoul. Drink now through 2022. 500 cases made, 50 cases imported.

James Suckling

Ripe apricot, nectarine, pear, honeysuckle and cedar aromas. Some lemon pith, too. It’s medium- to full-bodied with a creamy texture. Apricot stones on a juicy finish. A balanced, fresh expression of Châteuneuf-du-Pape. Drink now.

Jeb Dunnuck

An upfront, attractive rendition of this cuvée that leads with its fruit, the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes Blanc offers plenty of honeyed pineapple, white flowers, quince, and subtle toasty notes, with medium- to full-bodied richness and depth on the palate. It shows some classic bitter almond and minerality with time in the glass and has great texture, good overall freshness, and a great finish.

Description

A lively and precise white wine from the Rhône Valley

The estate

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

This Châteauneuf-du-Pape "Vieilles Vignes" from Tardieu Laurent is made from great Rhone terroirs (La Crau, Font de Michelle, Les Gardioles, Cabrières, Plateau de Mont-Redon). The vines are 40 to 60 years old depending on the grape varieties.

Vinification and aging

The aging is 8 months in new barrels, of one and two wines.

Blend

The Châteauneuf-du-Pape "Vieilles Vignes" 2020 from Tardieu Laurent is the result of a blend of 40% Grenache, 25% Roussanne, 20% Clairette, 10% Bouboulenc and 5% Picpoul.
