The Tardieu-Laurent winery has stood for generations for down-to-earth winemaking that particularly emphasizes the unique characteristics of these stony areas. The 2016 vintage offers a remarkable balance between sun-warmed richness and freshness, making it an ideal candidate for longer aging. The vineyards were meticulously tended to achieve maximum concentration with an elegant structure, without artificially bolstering the wine. On the nose, intense notes of dark berries, sour cherry, and subtle vanilla tones emerge, complemented by a typical hint of white peppercorns. On the palate, it confirms itself as a powerful Syrah with a dense texture and fine, polished tannins that provide ample support. The perfect moment for drinking still lies in the future; a further aging period of three to seven years will increase complexity and allow for softer textures. While the wine is young, its directness is already appealing. It pairs well with classic gourmet dishes, especially game in sauces or slow-braised lamb. A mature mountain cheese also harmoniously enhances the elixir's spiciness. Open the bottle in good time so that it can be sufficiently aerated and the aromas can unfold. This edition is a well-founded choice for connoisseurs who value true origin and strong character.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tardieu-Laurent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223049851218,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/9460\/2322\/files\/4252_a7f6d8689377.jpg?v=1786380964","url":"https:\/\/vinosas.com\/en\/products\/tardieu-laurent-cornas-vieilles-vignes-2016","provider":"VINOSAS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
