Vineyard

The Story

Luc and Catherine Tardy have been working at the estate since 1998 : created in 1768, the estate has been passed on generations. When he took over, Luc remodeled the cellar to respect traditions while being modern : gravity, concrete tanks to macerate the grapes longer. Each plot is vinified separately to express the aromatic and the structure of each terroir. The wines are then aged in old underground cellars, in tanks or barrels (demi-muids). Today, Luc and Catherine farms 17 hectares exclusively on the Crozes-Hermitage appellation : they are involved in the protection of their soils and nature, being certified organic. T Luc likes his wines to "breathe the place where they were born, to express what he feels in the middle of his vines, inside his cellar".
