Parker about La Tâche Grand Cru 3er OWC 2017
While the 2017 La Tâche Grand Cru is one of the most approachable recent vintages of this great monopole, it's still really too soon to be opening bottles. However, these things happen, and it's certainly a striking wine, unwinding in the glass with detailed aromas of wild berries, plums, exotic spices, orange, rose petals, peony and coniferous forest floor. Full-bodied, satiny and seamless, its beautifully refined tannins and succulent acids are cloaked in an ample core of fruit. Like many of the best 2017s, its charm is deceptive, as there's a lot waiting in reserve here, and even a few years' patience will bear dividends.

La Tâche Grand Cru 3er OWC 2017
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is a legendary estate in Vosne-Romanée, synonymous with uncompromising quality, meticulous biodynamic vineyard work, and the crystalline expression of its singular terroir.
La Tâche 2017 hails from the estate's storied monopole Grand Cru vineyard, whose calcareous marl soils are celebrated for imparting elegance, depth, and fine-grained tannins. This exceptional site endows the wine with remarkable structure, poise, and decades of aging potential.
In the glass, the 2017 La Tâche displays an intense ruby red with a pure core. On the nose, aristocratic aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries, and red plums unfold, complemented by delicate floral notes, exotic spices, underbrush, and a subtle mineral depth. With aeration, nuances of licorice, forest floor, and savory spice emerge, underscoring the complexity of this monopole climat.
On the palate, the wine is concentrated, supple, and of breathtaking finesse. Silky, precise tannins and pure, vibrant acidity create tension and effortless elegance. Expressive fruit is supported by subtle spice and a firm mineral backbone across a dense, full-bodied frame, culminating in a long, aristocratic, and persistent finish carried by fruit, spice, and refined minerality.
Offered in a banded 3-bottle Original Wooden Case (OWC)—providing both collector provenance and ideal conditions for long-term cellaring—the La Tâche 2017 possesses extraordinary aging potential spanning decades, uniting the youthful vibrancy of a great Pinot Noir with the depth and nobility characteristic of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.
