WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Hermitage Maison Tardieu-Laurent 2021 begins with manual harvesting of grapes from old vines. The fruit is sourced from specific terroirs within Hermitage. Traditional and careful vinification techniques are employed.

This dual aging approach is a key technique used by the producer.
