RATINGS

98Wine Spectator

There's a unique dark, brooding side to this red. Black cherry, licorice, sandalwood, tobacco and woodsy spice notes mingle with dense tannins on the powerful frame, leading to a superb aftertaste of sweet fruit, spice and mineral.

19.5Jancis Robinson

Very rich & haunting on the nose with truffles & violets... so much stuffing! Liqueur red burgundy… Great energy & muscularity. Wonderful silkiness... Enormous persistence without heaviness... Thoroughly energetic. Absolutely heavenly...

98Burghound.com

...red currant & wild red berries that are openly mineral-inflected... extremely fine... ample power & vibrancy, palate feel is all silk & satin... will be considered one of the all-time great vintages for this incredibly storied wine...

97The Wine Advocate

...this is going to be a rich, generous nose & of all the crus in 2010, this bears the most semblance to the 2009. Scents of wild strawberry, raspberry coulis, peach skin and candied around peel abound...

97Stephen Tanzer

Ineffable high-pitched aromas of raspberry, pomegranate, cranberry, spices, flowers & white pepper. Wonderfully sappy & fine-grained with outstanding inner-mouth mineral-driven perfume... pungent red berries, flowers and spices...

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.
