The Story

Well-cared for vines, strictly controlled yields and as late as possible harvest produces an aromatic and opulent wine. Deeply coloured, La Tâche develops a palate of extraordinary aromas of dark fruits, truffle and spices.

Wine Information

A magnificent year — the best wines are still good now after more than 60 years. 

An uneven, cool spring resulted in late flowering. Dry and warm summer conditions ripened the grapes nicely to an excellent state, which resulted in a fine harvest at the end of September. Rich, elegant wines of class and balance.

Written Notes

More red wine? How about a magnum of 1949 DRC La Tache? Very LT and very ’49, this was about as rich as 1949 can be. It had the oil, the rose, the leather, the meat, the menthol. As Crane noted, it had ‘a feminine style but still manly.’ Everyone noted its greatness, with lots of oohs and aahs coming from the crowd. It was definitely wine of the night so far, and even had Robert asking for seconds.
