1999 Tardieu-Laurent Saint Joseph Les Roches Vieilles Vignes

The talented Michel Tardieu purchases superb old-vines material up and down the Rhône Valley and turns out rich, fresh, superconcentrated wines with added sweetness from new oak barrels. Rhône Valley legend Phillipe Cambie played a prominent role in the rise of Tardieu's negociant operation, with his rigorous but undeniably effective specifications provided as consulting enologist. While theCôtes du Rhône offerings may be easiest to find, don't hesitate to snap up any Rhône Valley wine from Tardieu-Laurent.
