Clos de Tart, a 7.5-hectare monopole Grand Cru vineyard in Morey-Saint-Denis, is one of Burgundy`s most prestigious sites, with an impressive reputation for producing exceptional Pinot Noir. Under the guidance of Sylvain Pitiot (1996-2015), the quality of Clos de Tart reached extraordinary heights.
The 2005 vintage of Clos de Tart is a powerful and concentrated wine, reflecting the excellence of this Grand Cru vineyard. Ripe black fruit, spices, and a touch of smoke dominate the nose, while the palate is structured, yet elegant, with a fine balance of acidity and tannin. The wine’s complexity deepens over time, and the finish is long and layered, suggesting further ageing potential. This is a wine that showcases the best of Clos de Tart, with an intensity and finesse that continues to evolve beautifully.

The 2005 Clos de Tart Grand Cru, tasted from magnum (for some reason, it always seems to turn up in this format), is one of Sylvain Pitiot’s greatest successes. It was picked September 21 to September 24 (at 11am, to be exact). The yield was 27hl/ha with 14° alcohol. The precocity of the growing season seems to suit Pitiot’s winemaking style. Iridescent in color, the 2005 has a majestic, pure bouquet featuring layers of pulsating red berry fruit, wild strawberry and raspberry scents and an underlying mineralité that I suspect requires another decade to really surface above the fruit. The palate is extremely well balanced, with fine tannin, and beautifully poised, that crescendo still in place. This grand cru fans out with a sense of confidence, almost hubris, on the long finish. A towering achievement. Tasted at a private dinner in Beaune. Neal Martin1st February 2019
