The La Tâche Grand Cru vineyard cultivates La Tâche from Pinot Noir grapes.
Furthermore, wine enthusiasts widely praise this red wine for its elegance, complexity, and age-worthiness.
In addition, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) controls the monopole vineyard.
Indeed, wine lovers recognize La Tâche for its complex and slow-developing flavour profile.
Consequently, it often takes a decade or more to fully integrate.
Interestingly, the varied soil composition of the vineyard includes more stony, limestone-heavy upper slopes and clay-rich lower slopes.
As a result, this enables DRC to craft a consistent, complex wine.
Moreover, DRC’s traditional, perfectionist winemaking, including late harvesting for optimal ripeness and very low yields, enhances the wine’s quality.
DRC La Tâche 2001
The 2001 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) La Tâche Grand Cru Monopole is an extraordinary, highly-collectible Burgundy Pinot Noir that has reached its peak window of maturity.
Widely considered a legendary vintage by connoisseurs, it balances vibrant fruit concentration with complex, savoury secondary characteristics.
At 25 years old, it has a lively, translucent ruby red colour transitioning into subtle orange and brick nuances at the rim, indicating a beautifully aged maturity.
Then the nose has an explosive, highly perfumed bouquet featuring fresh violets, rose petals, black cherries, truffle, and Asian spices (aniseed, ginger, and hoisin).
Subsequently, on the palate it is silky, energetic, and assertively structured.
Finally, it delivers concentrated flavours of wild raspberry, blood orange, and earth-laced blackberries, framed by fine oak integration, mineral acidity, and dusty tannins.
Producers crafted 19,789 bottles of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche 2001.
