CLOS DE TART



Clos de Tart is located in the village of Morey St-Denis in Burgundy’s world-famous Côte de Nuits. Founded in 1141 by Cistercian nuns, the Bernardines of Notre Dame de Tart, the Domaine is surrounded by its 1.2 kilometres of “Clos” stone walls. The 7.53 hectare monopole vineyard of Clos de Tart is the largest of the five Grand Cru monopoles in Burgundy. The Domaine has only changed hands three times in its illustrious history since its founding in 1141 by the Cistercian nuns; to the Marey-Monge family, owners from 1791 to 1932; to the Mommessin family from 1932 to 2018; and most recently to the Pinault family via their holding company, Artémis Domaines, since April 2018.



Since March 2019 the Estate Director at Clos de Tart is Alessandro Noli, who replaced Jacques Devauges, and prior to that Sylvain Pitiot was régisseur from 1995 to 2014. Unusually in Burgundy, the vines are planted on a north/south exposure, which has the benefit of reducing soil erosion and allows the rows to be exposed to morning and afternoon sunshine to enable optimal ripening. The average age of the vines is around sixty years old. Biodynamic principles have been employed since 2016.In 2019 a new vat room was inaugurated with an increase in the number of vinification vats allowing even more precision with the winemaking. On average 55% of whole bunches are used with only wild yeasts and the wines undergo malolactic naturally and age for an average of 18 months in barrel.



Clive Coates MW wrote in The Wines of Burgundy that “Clos de Tart has emerged in the last decade as one of the truly great wines of Burgundy…full and the most masculine of the Morey-Saint-Denis Grands Crus”. Clos de Tart Grand Cru is renowned for its impressive concentration and complexity, supreme balance and longevity.
