The Clos de Tart 1998 is a Grand Cru red Burgundy, crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes harvested from the prestigious Clos de Tart vineyard, a monopole situated in Morey-Saint-Denis, Côte de Nuits. The Mommessin family, known for their long history in Burgundy, owned the entire 7.53-hectare vineyard of Clos de Tart.

The 1998 Clos de Tart Grand Cru puts in a rather disappointing performance. At 20 years of age, it shows some bricking on the rim. The bouquet starts off well, offering generous red berry fruit and a touch of menthol, but with aeration it develops a more herbaceous character and then an element that is almost fecal. The palate is medium-bodied and more cohesive than the aromatics, delivering fine tannin and notes of candied orange peel filtered through the red berry fruit. It lacks some finesse and shows just a touch of VA on the finish. Is there also a touch of brettanomyces here? This should be better. Tasted at the Clos de Tart vertical at Ten Trinity in London.
