La Tache 1996 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti La Tache 1996 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Cote de Nuits, Grand Cru Scuffed and nicked label From magnum in 2010, a marvellous, vivacious, vibrant bouquet that bounces out at you. Almost heady blackcurrant leaves. Extraordinary, piercing intensity - cuts like a knife. Great, sweet, strawberry fruit on the palate. A massive fruit-bowl of a wine. Blackcurrant wine gums. Sheer heaven. Just lingers forever with its red and black fruit flavours and silky texture. Cassis and coffee - and pure bliss. Breed in liquid form. SS. Lot 10 1 bt (cn) per lot: USD 1600-2250 The Domaine, as it is known, is iconic. Much more important, it also produces the most extraordinary wines in Burgundy - and it has been doing so for a long time. The generations responsible for the Domaine change, but the terroir remains. And these are very special vineyard parcels indeed, married to meticulous care and philosophy leading to low yields and healthy, ripe grapes, at whatever cost. From the 1990s, vineyard policy has been organic, with co-owner Aubert de Villaine monitoring everything with his usual attention to detail. Domaine de la Romanee-Conti wines evolve and develop dimensions in a way that resembles a mosaic - points of bouquet and flavour making up a harmonious whole that becomes more beautiful as it unfolds in the glass. Yes, these are hedonistic wines and yes, they are not like any other. The trick is in capturing what these remarkable plots of vines can give and letting them express themselves through minimum intervention and enlightened nurturing. SS. 6.06 ha (14.4 acres), average production 1870 cases, average age of vines: 46 years 75% of the vineyard is constituted from grafts of the Romanee-Conti vineyard. The vineyard is a monopole, the Domaine acquiring what is, today, the La Tache vineyard in 1933 and henceforth recognized as AC La Tache in 1936. Why do I love La Tache? Well, plums and roses and deep, plush velvet fruit is the reason. The texture is always thicker than Romanee-Conti. SS. Quantity: 1
