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...

Wine Information

Tasting note

Full colour. Fine, rich, concentrated nose. Lots of depth and quality here. Full body. Very good tannins. Quite masculine in character compared with rest of this flight. But not a bit tough or four-square. A backward wine with very fine depth, concentrated fruit and lots of grip. The best Clos de Tart for a generation. Very fine plus. From 2018. Tasted 2008.

Vintage 2005

2005 VINTAGE in Burgundy / Hopes made way for certainty.

2005 promises to produce outstanding whites, with elegance and opulence beyond the norm, and superb, seductive and well-structured red wines.

The richness of these wines perfectly expresses the diversity of the region. A wine of excellent quality is achieved above all through the ripeness and healthiness of the grapes. For this reason, thanks to the almost ideal climatic conditions...

Written Notes

Dark and rich with some serious concentration here. Finely balanced with plums, animal hide notes and black fruits. Both complex and plush, a really superb Clos de Tart. Lots of grip on the finish. A wine with years ahead of it, if you can keep your hands away. 96.

Warmly aromatic fresh floral red cherry nose, with some plumminess and refined spicy notes. The palate is quite beautiful, showing sweet, well defined cherry fruit. Very pure but still has lots of structure. The sweetness of the fruit and the precise, chalky, mineral structure and working in perfect harmony here. Beginning to show a bit of evolution, but also with a long life ahead of it. – Jamie Goode 97p (Oct 2015)

Full immature colour. Rich, firm, backward nose. Still some unresolved tannin. Fullish body. Lots of vigour and depth. Very good acidity. This is classy and long on the palate. Fine plus.

CLOS DE TART 2005 Very concentrated dark ruby red colour with purple hue. This nose, though some what muted, is just packed with layers of flavours of dark wild fruit, dark spices, oak and earthy notes. The depth are profound though completely undeveloped at this stage and will probably need plenty of cellar time to unfold. Full bodied with massive concentration and full of dark fruit, spices, oak and earthy note. It’s so massive today it’s hard to discern between all the flavours. The richness and length however are just breathtaking and this impeccable structured wine should not be opened for a very long time. Could be the best Clos de Tart ever and I might even score it to low today. Time will tell. Drink 2020-2050 95+p.
