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.
It often requires a decade or more to fully integrate.
Interestingly, the varied soil composition of the vineyard ranges from more stony, limestone-heavy upper slopes to clay-rich lower slopes.
This enables 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 2000
Although it is considered to be a more approachable and charming than powerhouse vintages like 1999, DRC La Tâche 2000 is celebrated for its elegance, complex floral notes, and detailed texture.
It has a classic La Tâche nose of dried rose petals, wild cherries, and a complex array of spices like cinnamon and brown sugar.
On the palate, it is a medium-bodied red wine with silky tannins and a supple, fluid texture.
At 25+ years old, you can expect aged aromas and flavours of truffle, earthy minerals, and hints of game or sous-bois.
Overall, it may lack the massive density of more potent vintages but it excels in grace and balance.
As a result, as a “monopole” (a vineyard owned entirely by one estate), they produce extremely limited quantities.
In conclusion, DRC crafted 24,867 bottles of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche 2000.
