Clos de Tart is a 7.5-hectare monopole Grand Cru vineyard located just south of Morey-St-Denis and, with Sylvain Pitiot at the helm from 1996 until 2015, quality and consistency increased extraordinarily. With meticulous attention to detail paid to work in both the vineyard and cellar, Clos de Tart Grand Cru is crafted from the best plots of the oldest vines. 2002 was an exceptional vintage in Burgundy and this is an unbelievably strong release that could have upwards of 20 years ageing left in it.

The 2002 Clos de Tart Grand Cru was picked September 23–26 at 28.4hl/ha, alcohol degrees coming in between 14.3° and 14.8°, a pH of 3.20. It is a vintage that I have tasted several times, and in retrospect, one that never suited Sylvain Pitiot’s late-picked/extracted style of winemaking. Quite medicinal on the nose, it shows just a touch of VA. You might deduce blind that it comes from the hotter succeeding vintage. The palate is medium-bodied, solid and sinewy, delivering plenty of ripe fruit but lacking genuine complexity and terroir expression on the finish. It is not a terrible Clos de Tart, and yet I can’t help thinking what it could have been. Tasted at a private Clos de Tart dinner in London. Neal Martin1st February 2019
