With a rich heritage that goes back to the 16th century, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti need no introduction. The estate, which is co-owned by the Villaine and Leroy families, is the largest proprietor of grand cru vineyards in Vosne-Romanée. The Domaine has always cultivated its vines according to the principles of biodynamics and in 2017 obtained the Biodyvin certification. La Tâche is one of their monopoles since 1933 and its wine is considered one of the finest expressions of Pinot Noir. The 2017 vintage is marked by red and black fruit density, remarkable power and tannic grip on the palate.
