Clos de Tart 1974 is a mature-vintage Burgundy red wine from the Grand Cru climat of Clos de Tart in the Côte de Nuits. With its 7.53 hectares, Clos de Tart is the largest of the five Grands Crus Monopoles in Burgundy. In 2017 the property was famously acquired by Artemis Group, the holding company owned by French businessman François Pinault. On the 1974. "Pale and old looking. Green/yellow rim. Very mature nose that reminds me of the 1979. Rich and flattering and then pretty dry on the end. Lots of pleasure; it`s just not the purest." Jancis Robinson MW, 2009
The 1974 Clos de Tart Grand Cru ought to have been DOA – but this is unpredictable Burgundy. Healthy and quite deep in color, it has a lifted, elegant bouquet with fine mineralité, prompting several attendees of the tasting to scratch their heads and ask, “How?” There are enticing red cherry and bergamot scents here, plus a touch of vervain tea. The palate is medium-bodied, quite floral and surprisingly pure, and the tannins are slightly edgy. Just a little, acceptable dryness creeps in toward the saline finish. I have tasted few 1974 Burgundy wines as good as this. Tasted at the Clos de Tart vertical at Ten Trinity in London. - Neil Martin
