Product Description

Laurent Tardieu’s Cuvée Guy Louis is no ordinary Côtes du Rhône. Sourced from exceptionally old vines (40–100+ years) across top Rhône terroirs (including parts of Vinsobres and Rasteau), this cuvée is dense, structured, and deeply expressive—offering a level of complexity typically found in much higher appellations.

• Blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre from carefully selected old vines

• Vinified in small vats with native yeasts and minimal intervention

• Aged in a mix of large foudres and neutral barrels to preserve terroir character

• Named in tribute to Laurent Tardieu’s father, Guy Louis

Tasting Notes

• Aromas: Ripe blackberries, garrigue herbs, crushed violets, and smoked earth

• Palate: Full-bodied and layered with dark fruit, licorice, pepper, and fine tannins

• Finish: Long and savory with great balance, freshness, and aging potential

Serving Suggestions

Serve at 16–18 °C:

• Ideal with grilled meats, duck confit, lamb tagine, or ratatouille

• Pairs beautifully with hard cheeses, rosemary-roasted vegetables, or hearty stews

• A food-friendly Rhône red that can be enjoyed now or cellared 5–7 years
