Parker about La Tâche Grand Cru 2007
The 2007 La Tache amply illustrates why this monopole is the darling among most of those lucky enough to regularly taste or collect the wines of the Domaine de La Romanee-Conti. Hints of mocha, vanilla, maraschino, and almond paste lend a confectionary note to generously rich cassis and raspberry, while Latakia tobacco, peat, clove, black pepper, star anise, and cumin contribute commune-typical Vosne-Romanee personality in spades. The high-toned, sweet themes continue inner mouth, with intimation of heliotrope, rowan, and lily perfume, while the wine's smoky, spicy elements seem to descend into a low-register undertone of roasted red meats and forest floor. As this opens to the air, a subtly sweet-saline suggestion of lobster shell reduction adds richness and succulence. Strikingly creamy in feel, this La Tache nevertheless possessed a fresh berry edge that helps convey vibrancy to a finish that practically glows in your mouth, offering another of those Burgundian paradoxes of light and dark. Here, the Villaine's case for long-term potential is easily made, and I expect this will richly reward at least 15-20 years of attention.

La Tâche Grand Cru 2007

The 2007 La Tâche Grand Cru from the legendary Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is an iconic Pinot Noir from Burgundy that impressively represents the single vineyard site of La Tâche. The 2007 vintage was characterized by changeable weather conditions, which required careful vineyard management and meticulous selection. The result is a wine that highlights the elegance and finesse of Burgundy.
The nose reveals a complex bouquet with aromas of red and dark berries, cherries, plums, and a delicate spice, complemented by floral notes of violets and roses. These are accompanied by subtle hints of undergrowth, mushrooms, and a touch of oriental spices. On the palate, La Tâche 2007 displays an exceptional balance between lively acidity, silky tannins, and remarkable depth. The texture is velvety, and the wine develops with a fascinating harmony that combines freshness, elegance, and complexity. The finish is impressively long, leaving a lasting impression of finesse and minerality.
This vintage is now beautifully ripe for drinking, but can still mature further and develop additional nuances. The La Tâche Grand Cru 2007 is a testament to the craftsmanship and unique quality that has distinguished the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti for generations.
