RATINGS

19.5Clive Coates

Marvellous nose. Deep, rich, old-viney, chocolatey almost. Fat, aromatic and crammed with ripe fruit. Fullish, oaky, potentially very velvety: an ample wine with splendid lush fruit, beautifully balanced by ripe acidity...Excellent finish.

... classic nose of Asian spices, hoisin, soy and a trace of oak followed by sweet, long, structured and beautifully complex flavors. There is fine length here and the power is impressive.

92Wine Spectator

Excellent, showing a minerally concentration that gives it a silky feel on the midpalate.... Medium-bodied, with lovely red berry flavor and firm, gripping tannins that provide a chewy finish.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanee, La Tache

La Tache is a 14.4-acre Grand Cru monopole in the Cote de Nuits owned exclusively by Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. Until 1932 La Tache was a much smaller vineyard, but in that year the government allowed Domaine de la Romanee-Conti to buy the adjacent 11-acre Les Gaudichots vineyard. La Tache’s elevation is 255 to 300 meters and it has several kinds of soil including large amounts of limestone and clay.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
