"Les Tardieu-Laurent Old Vines "

The castle at Lourmarin

The old vines, an obvious choice.

Old vines - vines 50 years old, and over - produce, in nature, less grapes. They concentrate the sap...

And, the roots plunging more in depth into the soil, the old vines are less affected by the climatic conditions, the ripeness is more regular…

Finally, the Terroir is expressed with a greater clearness, intensity, and truth…

The expression of the Terroir starts at the vineyards…

The low yields are an essential factor of the expression of the Terroir… A Terroir Wine is a philosophy.

From the work of the soil through to the bottling, it is respect of the living, of its diversity, of its balance, so as to favour, in harmony, the natural expression of the character of each Terroir.


The loving of the Terroir is, before all, respecting the earth, and respecting… life. Then, everything becomes obvious.

Tasting a Terroir Wine…

It is a whole Culture that one tastes, not only a Wine that one drinks.
The sensations that you feel are the expression of an identity and of knowledge.


The Wines have a soul, respect a history.


Tasting a Terroir Wine, it is learning to enrich oneself through Pleasure…
