The Secret of the "Exclusive Garden": The Rarity and Nobility of Latashi

"Exclusive vineyards" are extremely rare in Burgundy, meaning that the entire vineyard is owned and managed by a single winery. La Tache is one such example. Since 1933, the entire La Tache Grand Cru vineyard has been exclusively owned by DRC. This gives the winery unparalleled control over grape cultivation and winemaking, ensuring the winery's extremely stable quality and unique style.

This 6.06-hectare vineyard lies in the heart of Vosne-Romanée, just south of Romanée-Conti. This unique location and subtle terroir differences give La Tache its distinct character and charm compared to its "brothers."

A masterpiece of terroir: La Tache’s winemaking philosophy and sensory experience

The reason why La Tache has become the pinnacle of the wine world is not only because of the rarity of its "exclusive vineyard", but also because of its excellent terroir conditions and DRC's philosophy of continuous improvement in brewing.

  • A gift of unique terroir: La Tache's soil is complex, rich in limestone and clay, offering excellent drainage and strong water retention. The vines here are of average age, some exceeding 60 years old. Their deep root systems fully absorb nutrients and minerals from the soil, imparting a complex and profound character to the wines.
  • DRC's ingenuity: DRC adheres to biodynamic viticulture practices, respecting nature and adhering to the terroir. Minimal intervention in the winemaking process allows the pure essence of the Pinot Noir grape to be fully expressed. This allows La Tache to perfectly capture the nuances and subtleties of Burgundy's terroir.
  • A feast for the senses: La Tache typically displays rich aromas of red and black fruits such as raspberry, cherry, and black currant, along with complex notes of violet, spice, earth, and forest floor. The palate is silky smooth, with elegant tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish. With age, the wine develops complex aromas of leather, truffle, and toast, creating a captivating finish.
