Clos de Tart 2012 is a remarkable offering from the prestigious Domaine des Hospices de Beaune. This vintage, harvested between September 28 and October 1, yielded a mere 14.3 hl/ha. Clos de Tart showcases the purity of its terroir through the vintage`s delicate floral notes and vibrant red fruit aromas. On the palate, flavours of crushed red fruits emerge, alongside subtle earthy undertones, indicative of meticulous viticulture.

The 2012 Clos de Tart Grand Cru is definitely one of the finer contributions from winemaker Sylvain Pitiot during his reign. One parcel was picked on September 19, but the main picking was September 28 until October 1. The yield was a measly 14.3hl/ha, alcohol at 14.2°. It was also the first vintage entirely plowed by horse. It has a much fresher and more vital bouquet than the preceding vintage and appears to capture the essence of Pinot Noir with great aplomb. Raspberries, a punnet of freshly picked strawberries and a touch of pressed rose petals all join the wonderful, aromatic chorus line. The palate is very nicely structured, featuring crushed strawberry, raspberry preserve and light sour cherry notes. The tannins are finer here than in recent vintages – perhaps more in the style that Jacques Desvauges has created in recent years. Superb.Neal Martin1st February 2019
