Clos de Tart Grand Cru
Clos de Tart is one of the most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards in the Burgundy wine region of France. Located in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis in the Côte de Nuits sub-region, Clos de Tart is renowned for producing exceptional Pinot Noir wines.
The vineyard of Clos de Tart covers around 7.5 hectares (about 18.5 acres) and is entirely enclosed by stone walls, giving it the "clos" designation. It has a long and storied history, dating back to the 12th century when it was founded by the Cistercian monks of the Abbey of Tart.
In the 20th century, Clos de Tart was acquired by the Mommessin family, who continued to uphold its reputation for producing outstanding wines. In 2017, the estate was purchased by François Pinault, the owner of Château Latour in Bordeaux, adding even more prestige to the domaine.
The wines of Clos de Tart are highly sought after for their elegance, complexity, and age-worthiness. They typically exhibit aromas of ripe red and black fruits, earthy notes, and subtle spice, with a firm structure and great aging potential.
Clos de Tart wines are often considered some of the finest examples of Burgundian Pinot Noir, and they command high prices on the market. The domaine produces limited quantities of wine each year, making them highly coveted by collectors and wine enthusiasts around the world.
