La Tâche
Vosne-Romanée · red · 6
The largest of the Vosne monopoles, and the most exotic of them.
Under the vines
A slightly steeper and more varied slope than Romanée-Conti, absorbing the old Gaudichots climat.
In the glass
Spice, dark fruit and an almost gamey depth; more overtly powerful than Romanée-Conti.
Why it sits here
A monopole of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, enlarged in 1933 by a court ruling over Les Gaudichots.
Commonly misread
That monopole status implies great antiquity. La Tâche's present boundaries date from the 1930s.
