A White Côtes du Rhône by Tardieu-Laurent Between Northern and Southern Influences

The Estate

Founded in 1996 in Lourmarin, in the Luberon, the Tardieu-Laurent house has established itself as a leading micro-négociant-éleveur of the Rhône Valley. Without owning any vines of its own, the Tardieu family, now at the helm with Michel, Michèle, Bastien and Camille, selects old parcels from partner growers from the north to the south of the valley. The house is recognized by the specialist press as one of the region's finest micro-négociants, thanks to its constant search for old vines and its meticulous aging.

The Vineyard

Nobles Origines is a distinctive white Côtes du Rhône, as it blends grapes from both the northern and southern terroirs of the valley, with roughly one third from the north and two thirds from the south. The raw material notably includes grapes from declassified crus, such as Crozes-Hermitage, as well as old-vine Grenache Blanc, some of it more than 70 years old, reflecting the house's determination to favor exceptional parcels beyond the usual appellation boundaries.

Winemaking and Aging

For the production of Nobles Origines 2025, fermentation takes place entirely in barrels. Aging then continues for eight months in new barrels as well as in barrels of one to two wines, made from oak from the forests of Allier and Tronçais. The wine will be bottled without fining and with light filtration, in order to best preserve the expression of the raw material.

Grape Varieties

Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier.
