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.

Rich and concentrated, its bouquet releases infinite tones that melt in the mouth to form a lovely ensemble – always exceptional, even in the difficult vintages. Hence in 1950 and 1951, it was the only wine in the domain...

2004 Harvest

At the Olympic Games, which took place last summer while the grapes were ripening, victory often depends on few things: a few centimetres or a few seconds, with the complicity of diverse circumstances that are beyond the athlete's control - luck is among them! even though the talent and the work accomplished the months and years before the competition are essential.

It is the same for the vigneron. The challenge that is prop...

Vintage 2004

2004 VINTAGE in Burgundy

2004 will be remembered as the year of wonderful surprises. The month of September was hot, dry and sunny contributing to an excellent harvest which in turn gave birth to fruity, elegant wines.
The harvest started on the 13th September in Burgundy, the Mâconnais and the Côte Chalonnaise during a long awaited spell of mild weather following a summer characterised by climatic instability. 

These conditions slowed ...

Written Notes

Montrachet’s turn was over, and it was back to La Tache, beginning with the 2004 DRC La Tache.The ’04 was super wound and high-pitched with aromas of crushed red fruits, sandalwood, black raspberry, stems, a kiss of nut butter and lots of t ‘n a. The nose was very expressive, and its acidity impressive. Mark was saying how he has been impressed with 2004s, especially DRCs, in general. This ’04, despite its youth, was really singing, and I kept noting its acidity over and over, a good sign for its future

“This too is sublime in its subtlety and grace with inef- fably pure aromas and it strikes a balance between the opulence of the RSV and the restraint of the GE with an expressive yet ultra fine nose of rose petals, violets and seductive spice notes that introduce unbelievably refined flavors that seem crafted from silk and lace, culminat- ing in a linear, mouth coating finish that detonates like a bomb and lasts and lasts.”(95pts BH)

Rich red fruit characters such as strawberry, rasberry, ripe cherry with concentration.

The high aciditywith rich primary fruits well balanced with high acidity, medium alcohol and medium plus tannin.

the wine is unique and an amazing Task.

A broody nose and out of all the wines, this is the one that smells the most stalky. Complex though, very classic, with red-berried fruit, cigar box and a touch of bitter chocolate. The palate is disjointed at first and demands half an hour to meld together. Spicy and muscular, very traditional in style, not flamboyant but broody and sullen. But there is real intensity on the back palate with a green note on the finish. Very long, but this will need patience. Not a wine for those who like a bit of hedonism in their La Tache and without the persistency a great vintages. But still a class act

Bright ruby. The purity on the nose of this wine is beyond description. Linear, not very complex, not that layered, but intense fruit, focused. Fresh acidity, nothing of the greeness of the vintage, lasting and lasting, extremelly long, minutes. It's Zen garden simplicity, a Miro of a wine.

D 3.5 h / G 3 h Intense, deep, floral nose with complexity – cinnamon, violets and brambles. Firm, intense, and nervy fruit with great concentration. Vibrant wine with superb finesse and harmonious length. Remarkable balance with seductive red fruit flavours with floral cinnamon flavoured finish. Pure elegance that will be complimented with more upcoming fruit after 5-7 years. Will keep until 2025.
