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 1984
The 1984 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche Grand Cru Monopole is a rare, fully mature Pinot Noir from a notoriously difficult and cold vintage in Burgundy.
Consequently, it is a lighter and more rustic wine than classic La Tâche vintages.
Today, it has a pale ruby-garnet colour, thinning to distinct amber and orange tones at the rim.
On the nose, it has earthy and vegetal Pinot Noir notes, dominated by dried flora, crushed potpourri, sweet macerated cherries, soft leather, and subtle molasses.
Then the palate is light to medium-bodied, showing fruitiness mixed with bittersweet fruit elements.
Overall, it possesses a soft texture with smooth, mature tannins.
Eventually, the finish is earthy and savoury with decent weight, though it lacks the explosive power of great vintages.
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti crafted 9,728 bottles of DRC La Tâche 1984.
You can find this DRC La Tâche 1984 at Arden Fine Wines in London.
