Start with La Tâche’s status as a DRC monopole, then record the vintage, volume, fill level, closure, wooden case, provenance and storage history for each bottle.
Start with La Tâche’s identity as a DRC monopole, then document the vintage, volume, fill level, closure, wooden case, provenance and storage history for each bottle.
Information to verify first for La Tâche
Confirm the formal name, visible markings, specifications, accessories, present condition and provenance first. Separate evidence seen, not seen and pending verification. This page avoids unsupported market figures and never treats a similar online image as evidence for one bottle.
- La Tâche is a DRC monopole; do not create a multi-producer comparison group.
- The vintage and DRC’s official harvest figures provide background only; they do not establish an individual bottle’s storage condition.
- Match the volume, front and back labels, closure, bottle base and wooden case bottle by bottle.
Record the item and its provenance separately
- Record the fill level, leakage, labels, storage temperature and purchase documents in separate fields.
- Different vintages must not be sorted solely by online asking prices.
- Do not imply that a verified market figure is already available.
Frequently asked questions about La Tâche records
Why does this page not quote one market price?
Without comparable samples of the same version and volume, in similar condition and at a similar date, on the same pricing basis, one figure would be misleading. This page therefore concentrates on verifiable identity and provenance fields.
Can an online listing with the same name be assumed to be the same variant?
No. At minimum, compare the official product name, vintage or batch, volume, ABV, labels, closure, accessories and market of sale.
What should be done first when records are incomplete?
Keep the item in its current condition and photograph every visible marking. Do not clean or unseal it, and do not fill missing fields with assumptions.
