About the manufacturer

Семейство Тарди изначально проживало и занималась виноделием в муниципалитете Флаже-Эшезо, в нескольких километрах от Вос-Романе. В 1920 г. Виктор Тарди устроился на работу в Домен Камюзе в качестве аграрного работника. Спустя 25 лет владелец Домена, Этьен Камюзе, сдал ему в аренду часть виноградника. Жан Тарди перенял профессию отца в 1966 году и получил еще одну долю в винограднике от Домена Мео-Камюзе. С 1981 г. Жан начал активное приобретение плантаций на престижных аппелласьонах.
