The 2022 vintage presented climatic extremes, yet careful viticulture and low yields of around 37.6 hl\/ha produced grapes of remarkable concentration and balance. Vinified with traditional Burgundian precision and matured in selected French oak, the wine delivers density and richness while retaining the elegance and transparency typical of DRC. Muscular yet graceful, it shows a sculptural restraint, underpinned by mineral complexity, subtle spice, and a poised acidity that promises decades of evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"1509\"\u003eHarvested by hand in early September, the fruit was sorted meticulously to ensure only the finest berries were used. The result is a wine of linear tension and purity, with flavors of red and black fruit, forest floor, and delicate herbal notes coiling through a refined structure. La Tâche 2022 is built to reward patience, revealing its full depth and harmony over extended cellaring.\u003cbr data-start=\"1105\" data-end=\"1108\"\u003e Even at this early stage, the wine demonstrates a rare balance between power and finesse. The aromatics and palate combine with a precise frame and persistent minerality, offering an experience that is at once immediate in its vibrancy and promising in its long-term potential. It pairs beautifully with delicate game, roasted duck, or refined mushroom-based dishes that mirror its layered complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1511\" data-end=\"1702\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1524\" data-end=\"1527\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"1534\"\u003e – Perfumed and layered\u003cbr data-start=\"1556\" data-end=\"1559\"\u003e Sweet red and black berries, rose petals, incense, exotic spice and a subtle lift of orange zest with hints of undergrowth and herbal patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1704\" data-end=\"1878\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1710\" data-end=\"1713\"\u003e – Linear and precise\u003cbr data-start=\"1733\" data-end=\"1736\"\u003e Medium-bodied with fine, chiselled tannins and vibrant acidity, evolving through red and black fruit, Earl Grey tea, and forest floor notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1880\" data-end=\"2012\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1886\" data-end=\"1889\"\u003e – Long and contemplative\u003cbr data-start=\"1913\" data-end=\"1916\"\u003e Lingering black tea, sea salt and refined oak with persistent herbal echoes and mineral tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2014\" data-end=\"2772\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2033\" data-end=\"2036\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e“Hides its secrets well … a blend of red and black fruit, Earl Grey, undergrowth, and a subtle herbal patina.
