Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
Tasted from multiple barrels (though the final assemblage hadn't yet been determined), the 2020 La Tâche Grand Cru reveals aromas of raspberries and blackberries mingled with rose petals, Indian spices and hints of toasty oak. Full-bodied, ample and velvety, it's deep and seamless, with striking intensity and a long, sapid finish. At this early stage, it's immensely promising.
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2020 La Tâche Grand Cru is magical, mingling notions of mulberries, cherries and cassis with scents of bergamot, black tea, licorice, exotic spices and peonies. Full-bodied, rich and resonant, with a broad attack, huge mid-palate amplitude and a supple, seamless, elegantly muscular profile, this is a remarkably powerful but also profoundly complex, intellectually and sensually thrilling young wine.
About the Producer
The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti or DRC is one of the most prestigious wine estates in the world with 25.5 hectares mostly in Vosne-Romanée on the route des Grands Crus in the vineyards of the Côte de Nuits of the Burgundy vineyards (named after the 1.8 hectare Clos de la Romanée-Conti, one of the most prestigious mythical grands crus in the world). The civil company of the same name was founded in 1942 by Edmond Gaudin de Villaine. It is now co-managed for their heir family by the winegrowers Aubert de Villaine and Perrine Fenal.
