Domaine Clos de Tart Grand Cru Clos de Tart Museum Release 2018

Domaine Clos de Tart Grand Cru is a monopole grand cru in Morey-Saint-Denis, and this museum release comes from the first organically certified harvest in the clos.

The walled vineyard runs to just over seven hectares between Bonnes-Mares and Clos des Lambrays, its rows planted north-south down the slope, an orientation almost unheard of on the Côte d’Or. Organic growing has long been the rule here and certification followed, with soil scientist Claude Bourguignon consulting on the vineyard for many years. This bottling was picked and vinified by Jacques Devauges but bottled under Alessandro Noli, who has since directed the estate. Nine separate cuvées were fermented, spending an average of eighteen days in vat, with extraction kept deliberately gentle: only four punchdowns, all by foot. The final blend ran to roughly 65 per cent whole bunches and was raised for nineteen months, 80 per cent in new lightly toasted Tronçais barriques and the balance in one-year-old barrels and demi-muids. As always the wine was hand-bottled by gravity, unfined and unfiltered.

A wine for the cellar that will reward ten to twenty years. Serve at 16-18°C with roast hare, braised beef cheek or a mature hard cheese.
