RATINGS

94The Wine Advocate

...we are walking in woodland around mid-October, the damp ground strewn with brown leaves... tremendous depth here and it seems to gain complexity toward the finish that gently fans out. It is another elegant Clos de Tart...

92Burghound.com

A very fresh, restrained & attractively ripe nose of spiced plum, earth, violets & rose petal. There is excellent richness & volume to the gorgeously textured, concentrated & mouth coating medium weight plus flavors...

91Vinous / IWC

Perfumed, discreet nose combines red cherry, spices, pepper and herbs. Juicy and light on its feet... Finishes with good breadth, hints of oak-derived coffee and chocolate and a slight dryness.

18Jancis Robinson

Expansive, extrovert nose with an outstanding herbal character, cranberry fruit, a bit of beetroot and rhubarb - esoteric and complex, as befits its noble reputation. Faithful to the grand cru expectation.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Morey-St.-Denis, Clos de Tart

Clos de Tart is a Grand Cru vineyard in the Morey St.-Denis appellation of Burgundy. During the Middle Ages it was owned by Cistercian monks, but it was sold at auction after the French Revolution. In 1932 the 18.6 acre vineyard was bought by the negociant Mommessin, which today owns the entirety of the vineyard and runs it as a monopoly. Vineyards are planted to north to south, which is unusual, which is partly to help guard against erosion. The soil is stony with some clay.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
