Domaine Clos de Tart Grand Cru Clos de Tart 1.5L MAGNUM 2021

Domaine Clos de Tart Grand Cru is a certified organic monopole in Morey-Saint-Denis, offered here in 1.5-litre magnum.

The clos is one of the great sites of the Côte d’Or and has been in single ownership since the twelfth century. Average vine age is now over sixty years, with some parcels beyond a hundred, and the rows run north-south along the slope, a rare orientation that checks erosion and alters how sunlight and shade reach the fruit. The aspect is a steady east-south-east, but the clay-limestone geology is anything but uniform: six expressions of limestone have been identified across the vineyard, chiefly calcaires à entroques, white marl and hard Prémeaux limestone. Organic farming is certified and Claude Bourguignon has consulted on the soils for years. Picking ran over five days from late September at very low yields of around 20 hl/ha. Extraction was gentle, with a single early foot treading and then pumpovers only, three weeks on skins and 22 months of ageing at 65 per cent new oak.

Magnums age more slowly again, so give this fifteen years or more. Serve at 16-18°C with roast game bird, wild mushrooms or aged Comté.
