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...

Written Notes

The 1966 Clos de Tart Grand Cru has a healthy deep russet hue. The bouquet is delightful: old-school Burgundy with dark berry fruit, mulberry, fern, damp woodland and just a touch of mint, gently unfolding with aeration. The palate is very well balanced, offering fine tannin and red fruit tinctured by a splash of soy. I admire the definition, breeding and nobility of this Clos de Tart, which shows just a little dryness on the finish but is otherwise holding up well. Very fine. Tasted at the Clos de Tart vertical at Ten Trinity in London.
