The 2022 La Tâche was very impressive out of barrel; still, at the time I preferred the Romanée-Conti. I am less certain of this judgement when tasting the wines in bottle. Admittedly it is splitting hairs, but to judge what they show today, the exquisite La Tâche may have edged ahead of even the Romanée-Conti at present. It is a serious wine, substantial and structured; less open than the Richebourg and showing more savoury and spice notes than overt primary fruit, yet it is a wine that is unbelievably dense with flavour and long on the finish. 26,724 bottles produced in 2022.

The 2022 La Tâche Grand Cru is the most complex and compelling wine in the range at this early stage. Wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet red berries and plums mingled with rose petals, orange zest, exotic spices, incense and wintergreen, it's full-bodied, rich and layered, with a deep and pure core of fruit, lively acids and sweet, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, gently oak-inflected finish. It was harvested the fourth through the sixth of September, just after the Grands-Échézeaux, and bottled in March 2024.

The 2022 La Tâche Grand Cru is allowed three or four minutes to just settle in the glass. It offers a mélange of red and black fruit, pressed iris flower, and light sea spray scents that remain just off-stage. This, at the moment, is a very nuanced La Tâche. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins. Very harmonious, with exquisite purity and mineralité, traces of black tea and sea salt towards the finish that is like a Swiss timepiece. Very controlled, silky smooth, this is absolutely divine and dare I say, flirts with perfection. We will see once this is in bottle.
