Description

A great wine from Bourgogne, lively and juicy at the same time, which bears the signature style of Clos de Tart with elegance

The estate

Clos de Tart is a unique Burgundy estate owing to its 900 years of rich history. Today, it is the Pinault family, known for their love of historical estates such as Château Latour in Pauillac, who take close care of the grounds at the Clos. As such, significant renovation work has been carried out in order to enhance the estate’s exceptional architectural heritage. Amongst other things, a new winery was inaugurated in 2019 and this marvel of modernity paved the way for haute couture winemaking, bringing the estate to new heights of excellence.

The vineyard

The 2014 Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru "La Forge de Tart", is made from the Clos de Tart vineyard, located at the heart of Côte de Nuits. The pinot noir vines, aged by 60 years on average, are laid out from north to south and are deeply rooted in soils which vary between limestone, clay, pebbles, gravel and marl. This homogeneous exposure and complex geology led the owners to demarcate the Clos into 12 different microclimates, all harvested separately. To preserve this precious terroir, Clos de Tart has been cultivated with biodynamic agriculture since 2016, obtaining the Biodyvin certification in 2019.

The wine

The 2014 Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru "La Forge de Tart", is a Burgundy premier cru. This appellation designates a denomination at the very heart of the same village appellation. In reality, it concerns a terroir which possesses exceptional characteristics, allowing it to distinguish itself from other appellations.

The vintage

The 2014 vintage was characterised by varying weather conditions throughout the year, but which gave the wines a charming character. Winter and spring, marked by mild temperatures, brought about early vine budding and, subsequently, nature allowed for continued quick development. The excellent climate in June resulted in an equally early flowering. However, this rest of the summer season turned out to be cooler and more cloudy, slowing down the grapes’ ripening process. September, which was dry and sunny, brought about the perfect conditions for the berries to reach a perfect state of ripeness.

The winemaking and ageing

After the harvests, which took place from 17 to 22 September, the best pinot noir grapes were brought to the cellar to begin a very precise winemaking process. Malolactic fermentation ended in June 2015, after which the wine was aged for 17 months before bottling on 30 March 2016.

Blend

Pinot Noir (100%).
