La Tâche: The Other Monopole

Vosne-Romanée's 6-hectare Pinot Noir monopole of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, farmed organically since 1985 — full-bodied and structured wines that monks planted in the 1630s now command some of the world's highest prices.

What to do there

TourLa Tâche: The Other MonopoleDRC's 'other' monopole - 6 hectares producing ~20,000 bottles annually at $1,500+ each. La Tâche is often preferred by Burgundy insiders over Romanée-Conti itself - more complexity, slightly more affordable, and a deeper expression of Vosne terroir.
