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 since 1996, quality and consistency has increased extraordinarily in recent years. 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 older vines. The 2009 is a sensational wine of seamless balance and precision. Sometimes quite closed on opening, this is a wine that really rewards patience and being afforded a large glass in which it can properly aerate. Drink now until 2040.
96 Vinous
The 2009 Clos de Tart Grand Cru is a wine that turns everything up to 11. It was picked from September 15 at 29.4hl/ha with 13.6° alcohol, then matured for 17 months in new oak. There was some whole bunch here, although I do not know the exact percentage. The incredibly intense, powerful bouquet of red cherries, kirsch and cranberry is augmented by light floral scents, although there is more glycerin here than I recollect on previous bottles. The palate is medium-bodied, muscular and well-balanced, offering firm, grippy tannins that lacquer the mouth. As I have observed before, with aeration this becomes more clenched and more like the 2010 in style, though I seek a little more detail on the finish, where the precocity of the growing season blurs the edges. Give it another three to five years. Tasted at a private Clos de Tart dinner in London.
