New Release | Clos de Tart 2023s

We just secured a limited allocation of 2023 Clos de Tart along with 2022 & 2017 - a legendary Monopole from vines that average around 60+ years of age. The clos has been organically certified since 2018 and biodynamically certified since 2020; subdivided into 15 sectors, each farmed and vinified individually.  Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru La Forge de Tart is also sourced from the Clos, largely from vines planted between 1999 and 2018, while the oldest vines go to Clos de Tart Grand Cru itself.

"The 2023 Clos de Tart Grand Cru is superb, soaring from the glass with a deep and inviting bouquet of peony, red cherry and iris, mingled with subtle smoky nuances and a deft application of new oak. Full-bodied, concentrated and multidimensional, it is elegantly muscular and enveloping, built around a pretty core of fruit, refined, suave tannins and ripe acids that culminate in a delicately perfumed, floral finish. Sensual and harmonious, this cuvée is derived from the oldest vines within the clos, averaging 50 years of age, and possesses the balance and structure to offer a broad and extended enjoyment window." - Kristaps Karklins

"The 2023 Clos de Tart Grand Cru, which contains 50% whole bunch, has an exquisite bouquet that is understated at first, opening with Dorset plum, raspberry, graphite and violets, the latter becoming more prominent with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with finely sculpted tannins. There is pleasing fluidity to this Clos de Tart with a very harmonious satin-textured finish lent edge by assiduous whole bunch addition. What a lovely Grand Cru, one that just needs two or three years in bottle." - Neal Martin

"Discreet wood influence is present on the ripe, fresh and even more floral-infused aromas of cassis, black cherry liqueur, exotic tea and violet nuances. The round, delicious and generously proportioned larger-scaled flavors possess reasonably good verve while delivering excellent length on the dusty and firmly structured but not really austere finale. This is without question bult to repay extended keeping but the richness and sap should permit it to be approachable after only 7 to 8 years." - Allen Meadows

"The bouquet has an aromatic quality not too dissimilar in profile to the village wine, with the precision of the 1er Cru and significantly more depth of flavour than either. This is hauntingly fine and may escape from the powerful, even foursquare, image of Clos de Tart which one seems to get whoever is making the wine. There is a deep liquid darker raspberry fruit, even a touch of liquorice, very refined tannins and excellent persistence. Seamless. This is what Alessandro has been looking for since he started! Tis is the most exciting Clos de Tart of the new regime!" - Jasper Morris

"The 2023 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru La Forge de Tart, derived from the younger vines within the clos planted between 1999 and 2018 and matured for nearly two years in a combination of oak and ceramic vessels—the latter accounting for approximately one-quarter of the volume—wafts from the glass with aromas of blackcurrant, plum, cassis and red cherry, mingled with spice. Medium- to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it is rich yet vibrant, with velvety tannins and a more harmonious profile than the estate's village-level Morey-Saint-Denis." - Kristaps Karklins

"25% whole bunch vinification. The usual plots are Meurgers (plantation 2005), Marnes Blanches (plantation 2011), La Forge, Ballonges 2 and added to these regulars are Jeanniard (sometimes included – a sort of swing state) and Ballonges 1 which has always been grand cru but this time Alessandro wanted to make a stricter selection. 40% new wood, which is reduced down to 25% for the second part of the elevage. La Forge de Tart 2023 has a slightly deeper crimson purple colour. A really classy perfumed red berry fruit starts to emerge, while there is excellent tension on the palate too, but all in red fruit, arguably redder than the village Morey. Delicacy and definition, Cistercian style." - Jasper Morris
