2021, Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Speciale
Maison Tardieu-Laurent
Exclusive agency or direct allocations
"The 2021 Tardieu-Laurent Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Spéciale is a distinguished red wine crafted predominantly from 100% century-old Grenache vines. This cuvée is renowned for its remarkable richness and voluptuous character. The aromatic profile is intensely complex, offering brooding aromas of dark blue and black berry fruits interwoven with notes of purple flowers, Asian five spice, and black pepper. On the palate, it delivers concentrated flavors of ripe blackberries, plums, and cassis, complemented by accents of licorice and savory herbs. The wine's power and intensity are impeccably balanced by fine acidity, subtle minerality, and polished tannins, indicative of its significant aging potential. The finish is clean, smooth, and enduring."
