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 2005
The 2005 La Tâche from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) is one of the greatest modern expressions of this legendary Burgundy Grand Cru.
This wine is celebrated for its kaleidoscopic aromatics and profound structural depth.
The nose has an explosive array of black tea, mint, and sage, alongside exotic Asian spices, rose petals, and violets.
On the palate, it is a “vinous bomb” of concentrated fruit, such as red and black cherry, cassis, and plum, buffered by a dense, chewy texture and supple tannins.
Overall, it has a combination of the grace found in Romanée-St-Vivant and the muscular power of Richebourg.
As a result, as a “monopole” (a vineyard owned entirely by one estate), they produce extremely limited quantities.
In conclusion, DRC crafted 21,906 bottles of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche 2005.
Would you like to compare this vintage to another superior year for La Tâche, such as 1971 or 1978?
