The Winery

Domaine du Clos de Tart (Mommessin)

Situated in the heart of the Côte de Nuits in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis, Clos de Tart's vineyard is unique thanks to its diverse terroir. The Estate is completely surrounded by a dry-stone wall, giving the Estate its name, as 'Clos' means 'walled vineyard'. This historic structure totals 1.2 km in length and is traditionally Burgundian in origin. Clos de Tart's vineyard is planted with the best Pinot Noir vines, commonly called Pinots Fins that come from a selection of the highest-quality plants. They are the result of centuries-old viticultural savoir-faire acquired from the best terroirs of the Côte de Nuits. Thanks to the high average age of their vines, many of which are around sixty years old, Clos de Tart can reveal the very essence and soul of this remarkable vineyard.

Tasting Notes

WA96
Medium-light color. Very expressive bouquet; minty, smoky, medicinal, violet, and cherry pit aromas with a trace of heat in the background. Youthfully fresh in the mouth with an attractive sweet/tart interplay. There’s wonderful black cherry fruit, lots of tannin, solid density, and a little coarseness to balance against the ripe fruit. But many other wines have more depth, and from the mid-palate through the finish, the Clos de Tart is relatively simple.
WS93
A big red, round and sappy, exhibiting black cherry, kirsch and sweet spice aromas and flavors. Picks up some chocolate and smoke midpalate, with the richness and exuberant fruit of the vintage. Fine length; needs time to absorb the oak and tannins.
