Decanter 評鑑高五顆星” 木桶魔術師” – The Tardieu-Laurent Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuv Speciale 2003 & 2012 & Vieilles Vignes 2012 Offer
位在法國南法 Lourmarin地區非常小的村莊上,由於 Michel 對於葡萄酒的太過熱愛,終於有一天開始與布根地頂頂大名號稱木桶魔術師精品酒商 Dominique Laurent 結合,於西元1994年開始創立, 並完全交由 Michel Tardieu一人全權主導, 創造出精緻小產量頂尖酒款為主,Michel Tardieu 與擁有頂級老藤葡萄種植酒農一直有深厚良好的關係,靠著這股對葡萄酒熱誠和葡萄農的好人脈,只嚴選最好的地塊和種植葡萄酒農優質的葡萄,採用 Dominique Laurent 自己生產最好的橡木桶來維持每年葡萄品質與釀造過程,另外Michel Tardieu 更請來了有Parker 隆河御用釀酒師之稱 Philippe Cambie做為釀酒顧問, 使 Tardieu-Laurent 風格賦予更多元, 酒體濃郁且飽滿深厚且久於陳年.
大致而言教皇新堡使用葡萄品種多以格那希Greneche為主，Tardieu-Laurent 更是釀製 Greneche的好手中的好手。Greneche 晚熟的特性,適合種植於炎熱乾燥的環境，酸度單寧低，酒色較淺，釀造的酒帶有辛香料和豐富的莓漿果、胡椒，酒精濃度高卻有柔順的口感,表現淋漓盡致。
Decanter 在南隆河教皇新堡評比，評鑑最高五顆星等級,您絕對不能錯過!

A blend of 90% Grenache, 10% Syrah (75-80-year-old vines) — 75年至 80年老藤葡萄精釀
VV 2012Robert Parker Tasting Notes : Superb and with loads of potential, the 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, with the Grenache aged in older barrel and the Syrah in new barrels) is more deep and layered than the Cuvee Speciale. Offering up impressive notes of mineral, new leather and smoky black fruits, this full-bodied, layered and textured 2012 has superb mid-palate depth, fine tannin and an all-around concentrated, backwards feel. It will require 3-4 years of bottle age and keep for 15 years or more. Drink 2017-2027 使用樹齡超過80年老藤Grenache 於舊桶併混合Syrah10%於新桶，兩著調合，百分百去梗沒有澄清或過濾保留原始豐富果香與美麗的密度強而有力的口感 紅黑醬果無花果等層次明顯堆疊 尾韻帶木質香料氣息微妙又和諧。年產量卻只有小小的6000瓶
