The 2019 La Tâche Grand Cru is sublime. Mingling aromas of wild berries and bergamot with notions of rose petals, exotic spices, violets, clove and cinnamon, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a multidimensional palate of breathtaking plenitude. Elegantly muscular, this is a vibrant, pristinely balanced wine that concludes with a long, resonant finish. More structured and broader shouldered than the ethereal Romanée-Conti itself, this will demand and richly reward bottle age.

Picked on the afternoon of 16 September, the morning of 17 and all day on 18 with the young vines only brought in on 14 September. The 50-year-old vines yielded 23 hl/ha and 994 cases.
Deep crimson. Rather more savoury than usual on the nose. But on the palate it’s so rich you could so easily drink it tonight! Such a seductive wine… Utterly sensual in terms of ripe fruit and length. Rich and perfumed. Just absolutely what we all seek in a red burgundy: rich fruit and yet delicate. Restores one’s faith in burgundy.

The La Tâche had been racked back to barrel, which had slightly interfered with the clarity of the colour. Of no account at this stage. On the sumptuous side rather than strict, does it fill out the middle so much? Darker fruit here, very nicely balanced, good lift of acidity, a wine that needs to come back together after its racking. I look forward to revisiting the 2019 La Tâche in a year’s time when it should be possible to make a clearer judgement.
