Domaine Clos de Tart Grand Cru Monopole 2022 is one of the most iconic wines of Burgundy, originating from a unique and historic single-vineyard (monopole) plot in the Morey-Saint-Denis appellation, in the very heart of the Côte de Nuits. It is a wine where centuries of tradition, highly precise winemaking, and an exceptional terroir character come together.
The aromas unfold through notes of ripe red cherries, raspberries, and wild berries, complemented by subtle hints of spice and gentle earthy accents. On the palate, the wine demonstrates an excellent balance of structure and elegance. The tannins are silky yet firm, while the acidity is vibrant and precise, giving the wine a clear sense of longevity. The texture is concentrated but not heavy, with a juicy core of red fruits accompanied by spicy and mineral nuances. The finish is long, multi-layered, and remarkably harmonious.
Clos de Tart is a unique Grand Cru monopole, a protected vineyard whose soils consist of a combination of limestone and clay with a stony top layer. This geological structure allows the ‘Pinot Noir’ variety to express exceptional depth and precision. The southeast-facing exposure and the roots of old vines, averaging around 60 years of age, give the wine outstanding concentration and a character that cannot be replicated elsewhere.
The harvest is carried out entirely by hand, with careful selection of the best bunches. Traditional Burgundian methods are applied in the winemaking process: gentle fermentation, respect for the natural structure of the grapes, and minimal intervention. Ageing takes place for approximately 18 months in French oak barrels.
Serving temperature: 16–18 °C. Pairs well with roast beef, veal loin, mature cheeses, and wild mushroom dishes.
Clos de Tart is one of the most historically significant and prestigious estates in Burgundy, located in Morey-Saint-Denis, in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. It is a Grand Cru Monopole – a single, uninterrupted 7.53-hectare vineyard enclosed by stone walls, which has never been divided since 1141. Such territorial and historical continuity is rare in Burgundy and grants Clos de Tart a distinctive place among the region’s great names.
The vineyard was founded by Cistercian monks from the Abbey of Tart. Today, the estate belongs to the Pinault family, owners of Artemis Domaines. Despite changes in ownership throughout history, the core philosophy has remained the same: to preserve the identity of the terroir and to produce precise, long-lived wines.
The vineyard is situated on a southeast-facing slope at an altitude of 270–300 meters above sea level. The soils are complex and layered, with a limestone base, clay components, and a stony surface. This geological combination allows the ‘Pinot Noir’ variety to express structural depth, minerality, and long ageing potential. The average vine age is around 60 years, with some parcels planted significantly earlier.
Clos de Tart produces a single main wine, a Grand Cru from ‘Pinot Noir’. The harvest is carried out by hand, and the grapes are meticulously selected. During fermentation, a portion of whole clusters is often used to enhance structure and add aromatic complexity. The wine is aged for approximately 16–18 months in French oak barrels, a proportion of which are new, although oak is used judiciously so as not to overshadow the character of the site.
Clos de Tart wines are known for their dense yet refined texture, clearly defined tannic architecture, and long mineral finish. The aromatic profile combines dark cherries, forest berries, subtle spices, and earthy nuances that gain further complexity with age. It is a structurally precise and architectural expression of Burgundy ‘Pinot Noir’, capable of ageing for several decades.
