"From old vines, showing small-berried intensity. Supple, fresh and very jolly, with pure red fruit and gentle grip."
Stewart Pryce, Honest Grapes Wine Club Manager
Domaine Jean Tardy is a quietly brilliant Côte de Nuits estate, founded by Jean Tardy after years as a share-cropper for Méo-Camuzet, and expanded under his son Guillaume since 1997. The domaine now spans Fixin to Vosne-Romanée, with all wines bottled by individual vineyard.
The 2024 vintage was one of the most challenging since 2013, marked by frost, heavy rainfall and severe mildew pressure, reducing yields to just 18 hl/ha. Picked early to preserve freshness, the resulting wines are delicate, subtle and finely balanced rather than powerful, with clarity of fruit and gentle structure very much to the fore.
Fully destemmed and softly extracted, the reds emphasise aromatic purity and smooth tannins over force. This is a vintage for finesse and drinkability, offering real pleasure across the range.
What the critics say:
"This is aromatically similar to the Boulardes but with the addition of a sauvage component that is picked up by the succulent, round and more voluminous flavors that flash an appealing bead of minerality on the balanced finale where the supporting tannins are also relatively fine-grained. Lovely."
"Another light colour. The red fruit is rather more austere than the Côte de Nuits-Villages, though the fruit proves to be juicier on the palate, with some strawberry notes. As and when the bouquet opens out this will be an attractive Fixin."
