FEATURES
The 2015 vintage in Burgundy was truly exceptional, characterized by optimal growing conditions with warmth, timely rains, and a balance that produced wines of both power and elegance. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's La Tâche from this year is considered a young classic, with many believing it has the potential to be one of the all-time greats. Harvest for La Tâche at DRC took place on September 6th, contributing to a vintage that co-director Aubert de Villaine enthusiastically described as great. This wine is highly sought after by collectors and represents a significant embellishment to any discerning investor's portfolio.
【Potential to be one of the all-time great vintages】
On the nose, the 2015 La Tâche presents an exotic and stunningly complex bouquet, featuring notes of dark berries, plums, hoisin, smoked duck, dark chocolate, licorice, Chinese five spice, and a delicate touch of rose hip. Further exploration reveals Asian spice box elements, rose petal, lavender, lilac, orange pekoe tea, sandalwood, cherry, raspberry, oriental spices, tea leaf, and dried rose petal impressions. The palate is full-bodied, multidimensional, and authoritative, showcasing remarkable mid-palate depth. It boasts fine-grained yet firm tannins, enveloped by an ample core of plummy, almost savory fruit, leading to a long and scintillating finish. This wine offers superb richness, outstanding delineation, and intensity, with perhaps even more minerality than usual, delivering a captivating 'power without weight' mouthfeel.
Given its profound complexity and prestige, the 2015 La Tâche is best enjoyed on its own to fully appreciate its nuances, or paired with the most refined and understated dishes that will not overshadow its grandeur. Think of simple preparations of roasted game birds, truffle-infused risottos, or aged Comté cheese.
This wine is perfectly suited for monumental celebrations, exclusive high-end tastings, or as a cornerstone investment in a world-class cellar. It's an experience reserved for true connoisseurs and significant milestones.
