"A big, full bodied La Tache with intense savory herbs, black tea leaf and dark spices on the palate. The fruit barely peers out from the firm structure of tannins and acidity but after an hour, there is depth and an expansiveness that was missing in the beginning. An intense, powerful Burgundy that needs some time after it is first opened."

Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
