Currently owned by the French holding company Groupe Artemis, Clos de Tart was originally founded by the Cistercian nuns of Tart Abbey in 1141. The 7.53-hectare estate is wholly owned by Domaine Clos de Tart and therefore classified as a ‘monopole’. The 1999 vintage is a Burgundy of great stature and depth, boasting dark cherry fruit, black truffles, spices and a touch of strawberries.

The 1999 Clos de Tart Grand Cru was picked from September 22 until the morning of September 27, with alcohol degrees between 13.1° and 13.7°. It is a vintage that has not quite delivered as I was expecting it to. It is adorned with an attractive, rather ostentatious bouquet of the red plum and bergamot scents that I have observed on previous bottles, though not the mineralité I would anticipate as it approaches two decades in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, featuring a mélange of red and black fruit, and powerful and burly, with black pepper and Earl Grey toward the finish. It is a Clos de Tart determined to make an impression and yet it is beginning to fall short in terms of finesse and terroir expression. Tasted at a private Clos de Tart dinner in London.
