The Story

Of all the villages of the Côte de Nuits, Morey-Saint-Denis is one of the most fruitful in terms of the number of its Grands Crus. The Clos de Tart, which remains a solely-held entity, was founded by the Cistercians of Tart in 1141. Since that date, it has been owned by only three families. The Clos Saint-Denis came on the scene in the 11th century, thanks to the fortress of Vergy. The Clos de la Roche and Clos des Lambrays are both semi-monop...

Tasting note

The generous wood this displayed from cask has begun to integrate and while not invisible, it is has now begun to integrate. An expressive and extremely ripe black fruit and plum suffused nose is nuanced by hints of torrefaction, earth and coffee are followed by supple, delicious, round and textured full-bodied flavors that are underpinned by firm tannins and loads of ripe extract. This is a powerful yet detailed wine that does...

Vintage 2002

2002 VINTAGE in Burgundy

A Great Year 

The trade is unanimous: the harvest was exceptional and 2002 is destined to be a great vintage for Burgundy. A dry summer, a sunny September, splendid grapes with highly concentrated sugars - everything came together to produce structured and complex wines with outstanding aromatic potential.

Written Notes

There’s some warmth to the nose, with sweet, slightly fudgy cherry and berry fruits. The palate is sweet and focused with generous ripe cherry and plum fruit, and good structure under the fruit, which demonstrates ripeness and concentration. Quite thrilling in a riper style. – Jamie Goode 96p (Oct 2015)

Medium-full colour. Still youthful. A little adolescent on the nose. Doesn't sing. Better as it developed in the glass. Medium-full body. Good tannins and concentration. Beginning to soften up now. Lovely, balanced intense fruit. Great class and harmony. Eclipsed by the 2005 but still very lovely

CLOS DE TART 2002 Very open and intense nose just filled with black fruits, spices, clove, oak, earthy notes and a touch of mushrooms. Very deep and intriguing. Developing for sure but still young. Powerful and intense palate though remains somewhat elegant through it’s great grip and persistence. Lacks a bit of complexity at this stage but the superb structure should help this age for plenty of time. For now the young fruit is dark and packed with spices and oak. Time will tell if the wine has fruit enough muscle out the structure in the long run. Drink 2018-2030 93p
