The La Tâche Grand Cru vineyard produces La Tâche from Pinot Noir grapes.
Wine enthusiasts widely praise this red wine for its elegance, complexity, and age-worthiness.
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) owns the monopole vineyard.
Indeed, wine lovers know La Tâche for its complex and slow-developing flavour profile, often requiring a decade or more to fully integrate.
Interestingly, the varied soil composition of the vineyard, ranging from stonier, limestone-heavy upper slopes to clay-rich lower slopes, allows DRC to create a consistent, complex wine.
Moreover, DRC’s traditional, perfectionist winemaking, including late harvesting for optimal ripeness and very low yields, contributes to the wine’s quality.
DRC La Tâche 1973
The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche 1973 impresses wine enthusiasts as a highly regarded, though delicate, vintage from a difficult year, known for its complex aromatics and long finish.
Wine critics consider the 1973 vintage a testament to the quality of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, as it performed well despite the general difficulties of the year.
The wine displays a pale rose-tawny colour and is all but bricked-through, possibly with a slightly cloudy appearance due to its age.
The nose captivates with a highly perfumed aroma.
It offers notes of sous-bois (forest floor), dried rose petals, Asian spices, sandalwood, and hints of brown sugar.
The wine exhibits delicate and elegant qualities, with vibrant and well-delineated flavours of cherry, plum, cranberry, and minerals.
Reviewers on CellarTracker also note intermittent aromas of cherry, plum, and even animal hide.
It presents a medium-bodied profile with high acidity, fine mid-palate density, and silky tannins.
It leaves a beautifully long, truffle-like aftertaste, which displays only a touch of acidity.
