La Tâche is a Grand Cru vineyard for Pinot Noir red wine in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy.
It is situated within the commune of Vosne-Romanée and is a monopole of the winery Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.
- La Tâche was bought by the Marey family in 1791, who were also vineyard owners in Romanée-Saint-Vivant.
- Following the French Revolution, La Tâche was sequestered by the state in 1793.
- When Dr. Jules Lavalle published his classification of the Burgundy vineyards in 1855, La Tâche was one of those placed in the highest category.
- Until 1932, the neighbouring vineyard of Les Gaudichots could be sold either under its own name or as La Tâche.
In 1932 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, which owned vines in Les Gaudichots, applied to have it merged into La Tâche.
This was opposed by Liger-Belair who owned the smaller La Tâche.
However, Liger-Belair lost and most of Les Gaudichots was absorbed into La Tâche.
Liger-Belair’s vineyards were auctioned off in 1933, including their La Tâche holding, and it ended up with Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.
20,328 bottles were produced of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche 1986.
