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 2008 Clos de Tart is all class and elegance. It boasts fabulous inner perfume and endless layers of fruit. The nuance, purity and sheer breed are breathtaking. The 2008 shut down quickly in the glass, but not before leaving a lasting impression. The tannins possess incredible elegance, but that may not be fully apparent for a number of years. This is a gorgeous wine in every way. Anticipated maturity : 2023-2043. 94+ (Anton...

Vintage 2008

 An indifferent spring caused uneven flowering and mildew risk. At the end of June the weather changed for the better, continuing into July. Apart from local hail in the Côte de Beaune at the end of July, the summer began well. August arrived fairly cold and variable, but fortunately the last week of the month brought fine, warm weather. The lead-up to harvest saw sunny skies, apart from two days of rain in mid-September. A challenging vintage...

Written Notes

This is distinctive. Fresh, floral perfume on the nose, which shows pure red fruits and a hint of pepper. The palate is vivid and fresh with a lightness and focus, as well as good acidity and grippy tannins. It feels firm and angular in the mouth, and really youthful with a peppery finish. I don’t know how it will age. – Jamie Goode 95p (Oct 2015)

Good colour. Lovely ripe nose. Very good succulent fruit. Medium-full body. Very good tannins. Excellent grip. Very Classy fruit. Rich follow-through. Intense and pure. Vigorous. lovely. From 2018.

CLOS DE TART 2008 This has always been a killer nose filled with pure wild dark berries, raspberries, black berries, sweet asian spices, curry, clove, balsamic notes, fresh pine shoots and a pronounced minerality. It doesn’t change much with air today but gains intensity in the glass. Full bodied but very focused and elegant with pure dark forest fruit, wild raspberries, black berries, strawberries, spices and just the right amount of oak. This is dense and concentrated but the perfect structure keeps it all in place. Very long finish which has a huge mineral grip and fantastic length. Very young today and need serious ageing. Drink 2020-2045 94p.
