| Community Tasting Notes (average 96.9 pts. and median of 97 pts. in 64 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by fcxj on 4/20/2024 & rated 98 points: What a bottle. Haunting, floral aromatics, autumnal hint. Power without weight. (1328/21906) (595 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 3/20/2024 & rated 98 points: Truly spectacular showing. Exuberant stem aromatics, classical DRC. Balanced, sweet palate retaining acidity. Diana thought bandaid off-putting. I didn't mind! (9952/21906) (1063 views) | | | Tasted by TWSA on 3/16/2024 & rated 91 points: Nose: sweet red fruits, musk, rose petals, fresh strawberry, raspberry, rice crackers
Notes: the palate still suggests that this is quite young but I can taste the potential in it. Give it another 5-6 years it should start to show better. The beautiful nose of rose petals, raspberry and rice crackers all suggest this to be a top Burgundy. Nevertheless, I do not find this to be an extraordinary wine and I cannot say that this can live up to its reputation and hype given its a legendary year from a legendary monopole. It may be a very young still but in my view I don't see the greatness many claim from this vintage. While I cannot describe this as a disappointment because it is still very good and extremely balanced and afterall if we ignore pricing this is probably one of the top 5 best winery in the world. I'm sure this will improve with more cellaring but I doubt it will be as good as many anticipate today.

Rating: 91 (871 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 1/13/2024 & rated 94 points: Bottle 2 better. The variation is unsettling though. Slightly cleaner and more lift. Brighter fruit than prior bottle. (19564/21906) (1485 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 1/13/2024 & rated 92 points: Bottle #1 just didn’t wow. Is it still in shell? Certainly sense and has length. Didn’t feel precise nor lifted. Much prefer 2010. (19550/21906) (1320 views) | | | Tasted by Vinum Deorum on 5/5/2023 & rated 96 points: Delicious La Tâche. The wine was singing from the moment the bottle was opened. Fresh, subtle, long, complex, very refined and profound. ripe black and red fruits, aromas of rose, orange peel, mintiness on the nose. Really gorgeous, even if it will eventually get better with time. (3120 views) | | | Tasted by vetty on 4/14/2023 & rated 95 points: 05032. reserved. tanning is so strong, stronger than 17 la tâche.
Nose of mint and gum.
Tastes concentrated in the front of the palate. (2563 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 3/25/2023 & rated 98 points: Stupendously good, shocking. (2851/21906) (2695 views) | | | Tasted by johnh1001 on 1/4/2023: Two bottles drunk over two days. Dense, dark fruit and meaty notes. Super closed and didn’t budge over two days. Wait a long time I guess… (3069 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 9/12/2022: Deep, dark and surly. Some meaty sauvage and leather. It has a concentrated heart of black cherry fruit. It is powerful and savoury but not offering any real pleasure at this stage. (3382 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 6/21/2022 & rated 94 points: Not expressive aromatically. The expected complexity, balance, density and length are there, but very tightly wound still. Needs to sleep. (15454/21906) (2767 views) | | | Tasted by dcwino on 6/15/2022 & rated 96 points: Two friends sharing three bottles of wine (The Capital Grille at Tysons Corner, VA): Slightly closed nose displaying perfectly ripe decadent red and black fruit, raspberry and blackberry jam, cherry liqueur, mocha, chines medicinal cabinet, tea, sap, caramel and earth. There is only a hint of the DRC stem note. Exceptional concentration, layers upon layers of concentrated decadent black and red fruit, rich and oily yet also showing good detail and balance, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a long decadent concentrated red and black fruit driven finish. There is a hint of very ripe note which I didn’t notice from the previous bottles. It seems a bit closed. (2823 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 12/3/2021 & rated 98 points: Stemmy, smoky aromatics, very present not never intrusive. Incredible elegance on palate, crystalline with charming hint of sweetness. (15500/21906) (4433 views) | | | Tasted by steinersing on 12/3/2021 & rated 98 points: The bottle was opened 8 hours ahead but the wine remained a little tight with tannins still quite obvious. But with swirling and time in the glass the wine started to show its class. Layered and complete. And the nose started to show some tea leaves and chemical box - very DRC. I will try to wait for a decade before opening my bottles. (3331 views) | | | Tasted by overkloud on 10/26/2021 & rated 98 points: La Tâche 1985-2010 Vertical NYC (Le Pavillon NYC): 10 was classic, composed, and 09 was flamboyant with depth.
05 is an inch above both of them. It is 10's composure plus the power of 09 with even more layers in the mouth.
For me, it was my fav of the first flight (a super strong flight with 02, 05, 09 and 10) and a contender for the WTON. (3253 views) | | | Tasted by The Vines That Bind on 10/26/2021 & rated 95 points: La Tâche Vertical (Le Pavillon): On the nose both 2010 and 2009 are more expressive, although this still has beautiful bright red fruit. Actually showing a little bit of development. This excels on the palate with big, complete structure, powerful. Less ready than ’09 or ’10 in the same flight but is every bit as powerful and is technically stronger than ’09 but maybe not ’10. Each of the wines in this flight have terrific staying power and long flavourful finish. (3003 views) | | | Tasted by bill00 on 6/29/2021 & rated 98 points: A brilliant La Tache. Incredible aromatics. Obviously its peak is many years away but at the same time it's very approachable. 98+ (3430 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 6/24/2021: Bottle #2. This is more like the desert island wine quality. Lifted, floral, stem aromatics, notes clearly delineated. Precision extends to palate which fills the senses, and goes on and on. Dark red fruit profile. (19313/21906) (2719 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 6/24/2021 & rated 96 points: Bottle #1. Deep, brooding floral aromatics. Depth and sweetness on palate. No fireworks and slightly concerning bottle variation at work. (19309/21906) (2713 views) | | | Tasted by WIBA on 4/27/2021 & rated 94 points: maybe again not a perfect bottle as it didn't give me as much of a punch in the face as i expected. but nonetheless, a beautiful beast. was expecting more precision and concentration of fruit on the palate. (2557 views) | | | Tasted by WIBA on 3/20/2021 flawed bottle: shame shame shame. off bottle. no depth and short on the palate. need a redo (2800 views) | | | Tasted by steinersing on 11/6/2020 & rated 99 points: Ficofi dinner and from Zalto, opened 4 hours ahead. This showed surprisingly well even though the nose doesn’t yet show the LT complexity to its full extent. But perfect fruit, layers and balance here are dramatic. Patience required but as other 2005s starting to slowly waking up. (3362 views) | | | Tasted by LB88 on 11/5/2020 & rated 96 points: My other wine of the night tonight. I heard we just got lucky on the bottle which showed surprisingly well for such a big vintage. Mesmerizing floral nose of violets, well structured palate that had surprising tension and concentration. Still quite primary but starting to evolve and had a lovely floral aftertaste early in the evening which just evolved and got more complex. Could improve even more from here. Just such a privilege to enjoy this. (2784 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 10/15/2020 & rated 96 points: Slightly off focus compared to first bottle, but we're still in the stratosphere. (12115/21906) (3305 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 10/15/2020 & rated 98 points: Just pure harmony. Elegance, restraint, energy, clarity, the works.

Burgundy-Report (4/1/2008)
(Romanée-Conti La Tâche) Aromatically closer to the style of the Richebourg than the Vivant, but right from the start it has focus and an extra and deeper register if not the anticipated spice-box. The flavour profile is riper/sweeter than the last wines - closer to the Echézeaux - but the there is a clear and distinct extra length. Currently this is at the subtle end of the traditional La Tâche continuum - it’s far from a blockbuster, but it certainly edges the Richebourg for the most complete wine so far. |

| Domaine de la Romanée-ContiLe millésime 2012 (notes du domaine):
Certains millésimes connaissent des accouchements faciles : le vigneron intervient tranquillement et peu souvent, comme le fait l'équipage d'un voilier qui navigue par temps calme. Mais il n'est pas rare que le parcours vers la naissance du millésime s'apparente plutôt à la guerre, à une lutte de tous les instants pour garder le bateau à flot et arriver au but sans trop de dommages !
Ce fut le cas en 2012, qui restera un millésime unique - mais lequel ne l'est pas ! - dont se souviendront longtemps ceux qui étaient en première ligne dans les combats que nous a imposés la nature en mettant en avant ses meilleurs « soldats » : le mildiou et l'oïdium.
Le mois de mars fut pourtant très sec et quasi estival (22° de moyenne), ce qui entraina un débourrement plus précoce encore qu'en 2007, année de référence pour la précocité. Nous nous voyions vendanger en Août ! Mais de ce mois hors norme, ce qui aura finalement marqué nos mémoires, ce sont les coups de tonnerre du 26 mars, très exceptionnels pour la saison, mais prémonitoires de ce que les dieux réservaient à Nicolas Jacob, notre chef de culture, et à son équipe.
A partir d'avril, le changement est en effet radical : le froid (- 2° le 13 avril) et l'humidité s'installent. Résultat : impossible d'entrer dans les vignes pour labourer et l'herbe pousse follement, encouragée et entretenue par les pluies. Pour les mêmes raisons nous avons à surmonter les plus grandes difficultés pour les traitements : il faut guetter et profiter de la moindre fenêtre de temps sec pour apporter la protection nécessaire. Malgré une vigilance de tous les instants, le mildiou se manifeste et attaque même très fort, supprimant un pourcentage de la récolte difficile à évaluer, mais réel. L'oïdium, lui aussi, trouve des conditions de développement favorables. Et la grêle s'en mêle, frappant toute la Côte de Beaune et entre autres notre Montrachet le 30 juin.
La floraison commence vers le 9 juin, mais elle s'étire sur un mois à cause des conditions froides qui persistent. Il en découle une coulure importante.
Bilan de ces trois mois où il a plu un jour sur trois ! :
- une récolte d'ores et déjà réduite, suite à la coulure et au mildiou, et qui risque d'être hétérogène en maturité à cause de la floraison très étalée ;
- mais en même temps la coulure a créé un pourcentage intéressant de raisins millerands, ce qui est toujours facteur de bonne qualité ;
des vignes vigoureuses et en bonne santé ;
- et bien sûr l'année, d'exceptionnellement précoce, est devenue quasiment normale, la floraison laissant entrevoir des vendanges vers la fin septembre seulement.
Fin juin dernier épisode printanier « excentrique » : une canicule de quelques jours qui a pour résultat de griller les jeunes baies les plus exposées au soleil, diminuant encore la récolte et augurant d'un tri supplémentaire au moment de la vendange pour faire tomber les baies grillées.
En juillet la nature enfin s'assagit. Nous avons subi des pertes, mais l'ennemi « fait retraite ». Grâce à ces conditions plus clémentes, nous pouvons reprendre efficacement le travail du sol en effectuant dans certains cas trois passages de labour afin de libérer la vigne des herbes qui l'envahissaient. Nous effectuons les derniers traitements de précaution début août et...il ne nous reste plus pour la suite qu'à compter sur une météo qui se rapproche enfin des normales de saison.
C'est ce qui s'est finalement passé...
Le mois d'août a été chaud et beau avec une canicule et des orages autour du 15 août. Chaque fois, malgré le vent orienté souvent au Sud, le beau temps sec est revenu. La vigne ayant été largement abreuvée par le temps pluvieux qui avait précédé a nourri généreusement les raisins, la photosynthèse a été favorisée et la production de sucre a progressé très rapidement. A la veille des vendanges on avait :
- des grappes de petite taille présentant des raisins à peau très épaisse et un fortpourcentage de baies millerandées ;
- de la grillure sur la face exposée au soleil d'un nombre important de grappes, suite aux canicules, notamment celle de juin ;
sur certaines grappes, une ou deux baies n'ayant jamais « vér頻, c'est-à-dire restées vertes, qui seront rejetées lors du tri de la vendange ;
- botrytis inexistant.
En bref, une vendange très saine qui pouvait attendre une maturité complète. C'est ce que nous avons fait, prenant le risque, pour décider de la date des vendanges, d'aller bien au-delà des cent jours qui normalement séparent celles-ci de la mi-floraison de la vigne.
Nous avons finalement vendangé les raisins de Corton et de quelques jeunes vignes sur Vosne-Romanée à partir du vendredi 21 septembre avec une équipe réduite et nous avons commencé les « grandes » vendanges sur Vosne-Romanée le lundi 24 septembre. Le temps s'est malheureusement dégradé à partir de mardi et le mercredi 26, il a plu toute la journée ! Nous avons bien entendu arrêté totalement les vendanges ce jour-là et avons vécu dans l'angoisse, car on pouvait craindre de fortes attaques de botrytis le lendemain.
Mais deux phénomènes ont concouru avec une totale efficacité à préserver le raisin : d'une part les peaux des baies exceptionnellement épaisses et résistantes, et d'autre part une température froide, et même exagérément froide pour la saison ne permettant pas au botrytis de se développer. La vendange reste exceptionnellement saine. Comme chaque année nous avons néanmoins procédé à une sélection sur la vendange : Comme chaque année nous avons néanmoins procédé à une sélection sur la vendange : celle-ci a consisté à faire tomber les baies grillés et également les quelques baies non « vérées », en d'autres termes le tri a été minime et le personnel à la table de tri a vu défiler une récolte qui, au point de vue sanitaire, est l'une des plus belles de ces dernières années. Le temps restant frais, les températures de rentrée de vendanges ont été excellentes, autour de 15°, ce qui a permis une macération de quelques jours avant un départ en fermentation lent et progressif.
Les fermentations durent maintenant depuis près de trois semaines sous le contrôle « amoureux » de Bernard Noblet et de ses cavistes. Les premiers tirages ont été effectués, notamment celui de la Romanée-Conti qu'étant donné son état de maturité nous avons vendangé la première. Les vins sont très prometteurs avec de belles robes et des arômes frais et délicats.
Il faut introduire dans ce rapport un chapitre à part pour le Montrachet, qui comme toute la Côte de Beaune, a été grêlé deux fois au cours de l'été. Là les raisins ont beaucoup souffert. Nous avons vendangé le vendredi 28 septembre, c'est-à-dire avant la fin de nos vendanges rouges. C'est une récolte abîmée par la grêle, le botrytis et l'oïdium que nous avons rentrée et qu'il a fallu trier de manière extrêmement sévère. Il en est résulté une toute petite récolte, la plus minime de ces dernières années. Nous comptons sur une excellente qualité, mais le rendement ne représente même pas la moitié de la normale.
Pour les vins rouges, les rendements tournent autour de 20hl/ha, ce qui est de 25% environ en dessous de la normale que nous situons à 25hl/ha. A titre de comparaison, les 2009 ont donné des rendements moyens de 30hl/ha.
Une récolte comme celle que nous venons de terminer nous fait prendre conscience encore plus s'il le fallait de l'importance du pari - et de la chance - dans la réussite ou l'échec face à un millésime. Répétant ce que je disais l'an dernier, il est capital d'attendre la maturité complète du raisin. Ce fut plus facile cette année avec une récolte parfaitement saine que l'an dernier où le botrytis était important. Mais, dans les deux cas, il fallait attendre la maturité complète et nous avons eu la chance que les conditions météorologiques soient devenues notre alliée en conservant un temps froid qui a permis aux raisins de passer, sans attaque de botrytis, à travers les pluies très importantes que nous avons connues le mercredi 26 septembre.
Il est certain que la perte de récolte consécutive aux attaques du mildiou et la grillure de certaines grappes a été importante, mais cette perte en quantité est aussi un facteur qui a favorisé la qualité, puisqu'il en est résulté un éclaircissage naturel qui, en diminuant le rendement, permet au raisin sain de mieux mûrir. Il est fort possible que nous n'aurions pas atteint de telles maturité et qualité s'il n'y avait pas eu ces pertes à supporter.

Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
