BURGUNDY GRAND CRU

AOC La Tâche is a Grand Cru of Burgundy, located in the Vosne-Romanée appellation, in the Côte de Nuits. Nestled slightly south of Romanée-Conti, the vineyard is composed of two parcels, Les Gaudichots and La Tâche, representing a surface area of approximately 6 hectares. The climate of these sites is ideal for the production of Grands Crus, made from the Pinot Noir grape variety. The wines of the appellation are flamboyant and elegant, with aromas of liquorice and spices, humus and mushrooms. They are great wines that charm from their youth and improve with time. This Grand Cru is one of the most prestigious appellations in Burgundy.

ETYMOLOGY

The creation of the AOC La Tâche dates back to 1936. The origin of the name of this appellation comes from the expression "faire une tâche", i.e. to cultivate a vineyard in exchange for a fixed payment. In the Middle Ages, it was the monks of the Monastery of Saint-Vivant who cultivated the vines, until the revolution of 1789. Like all the property belonging to the church, the vineyard was then confiscated and sold at auction. Bought back in 1933, this parcel is now a monopoly of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.

DOMAINE DE LA ROMANÉE CONTI VINEYARD

The vineyard has known only 4 owners since the 17th century and has belonged to one and the same estate since 1933: the prestigious Domaine de La Romanée-Conti. An estate that represents excellence throughout the world through its mythical Grands Crus and its exceptional, legendary bottles, which are rare to find on sale.
