RATINGS

96-97The Wine Advocate

Seamlessly sweet, subtly silken, and vibrantly bright, this finishes explosively, with tactile impingement of black pepper and brown spices adding to its brashly fresh fruit and mineral intensity.

96Burghound.com

...ripe, pure and extremely fresh silkily-textured big-bodied flavors that possess firm tannins that are completely enrobed by the impressive amount of extract that also coats the mouth on the hugely long and ever-so-slightly minty finish.

95Wine Spectator

Features dark blackberry, black cherry and licorice aromas and flavors, allied to a density and heavier textural component that sets this apart. Very complex, vibrant and long.

95+ Stephen Tanzer

Knockout high-pitched nose shows great lift to its aromas of raspberry, rose petal and Oriental spices. Silky-sweet, supple and highly concentrated but very tightly coiled today. Wonderfully suave, plush wine with superb energy...

18.5Jancis Robinson

..Nervy, almost fragile, vibrato. Full, broad, mushroomy and very intense. Violet-scented, ‘feminine’ and lush...no shortage of ripe tannin on the finish...certainly make great old bones. Lots of fruit purity on the finish. Long and linear.

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.
