The cool year 2021, characterized by frost and precipitation, was something of a flashback to the classic, almost forgotten vintages of the 1990s. 2022 will then be incredibly hot, the driest vintage in recent history. Also this year, winegrowers with old vineyards such as Tardieu - Laurent were able to achieve good to very good results. But the question remains: how long will this continue? A heterogeneous vintage in itself, in which the selection of the grape material that flows into this CUVÉE SPECIALE was all the more important. White flowers on the nose, a subtle smokiness, light melons and apricots. Orange juice and lime at the beginning on the palate, creamy in the middle, some marzipan. Pleasant bitter notes in the finish: aniseed and sage, a very finely balanced minerality. An incredibly good entry-level wine!
