La Tache 1971 Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache 1971 Domaine de la Romanee Conti Cote de Nuits, Grand Cru Lot 18: u. 3.5cm, label soiled, Lebegue neck label, mise du domaine capsule Lot 19: u. 1x3cm, 2x3.5cm, 3x4cm, 1x6cm, 6 labels lightly damp stained, 1 damp stained, 3 badly damp stained, J L P Lebegue neck labels, mise du domaine capsules, 6 corks slightly raised, tissue and straw wrapped, owc slightly damaged at base An extremely generous Chinese host proffered this at a memorable dinner in Macao. Brown-tinged, in the way of 1971s, it is just so haunting and mellow, staying beautifully present in the glass and continuing to enchant. Rich, deep 'sous-bois'. Entrancing. SS. Lot 18 1 bt (cn) per lot: GBP 2000-2600 per lot: USD 3000-4000 per lot: EUR 2400-3200 The Domaine, as it is known, is iconic. Much more important, it also produces the most extraordinary wines in Burgundy - and it has been doing so for a long time. The generations responsible for the Domaine change, but the terroir remains. And these are very special vineyard parcels indeed, married to meticulous care and philosophy leading to low yields and healthy, ripe grapes, at whatever cost. From the 1990s, vineyard policy has been organic, with co-owner Aubert de Villaine monitoring everything with his usual attention to detail. Domaine de la Romanee-Conti wines evolve and develop dimensions in a way that resembles a mosaic - points of bouquet and flavour making up a harmonious whole that becomes more beautiful as it unfolds in the glass. Yes, these are hedonistic wines and yes, they are not like any other. The trick is in capturing what these remarkable plots of vines can give and letting them express themselves through minimum intervention and enlightened nurturing. SS.
