Clos de Tart 'Monopole' 2014
An exceptional Grand Cru in the Côte de Nuits
Located in Morey-Saint-Denis, Clos de Tart is a truly unique estate in Burgundy. Classified as a Grand Cru, this 7.53-hectare vineyard is a monopole, meaning it is entirely owned by a single entity—an extremely rare occurrence in the region. Founded in 1141 by Cistercian monks, this prestigious estate has stood the test of time, producing wines of outstanding quality, renowned for their depth and remarkable aging potential.
A remarkable terroir, key to its prestige
Clos de Tart benefits from an ideal east and southeast exposure, ensuring optimal sunlight. Its complex soil, composed of limestone marl and varied clays, imparts great finesse and impressive structure to the wines. The vines, averaging 60 years old, are carefully tended following biodynamic principles to preserve the terroir’s authenticity.
Meticulous winemaking and aging
Each vintage of Clos de Tart is crafted with the utmost precision. Harvests are done manually, followed by a strict selection of the grapes. Vinification takes place in wooden vats, with a carefully controlled proportion of whole clusters to enhance complexity and freshness. The wines are then aged in oak barrels, 50 to 75% of which are new, for 18 to 24 months, resulting in deep, silky wines built for long aging.
A legendary wine with exceptional aging potential
Clos de Tart is renowned for its wines of remarkable intensity. They stand out with their deep color, complex bouquet of black fruits, spices, and floral notes, and a velvety texture. On the palate, they balance power and elegance with an incredible length. These wines reach their peak after several decades, evolving into even more refined and nuanced expressions.
An iconic estate of Burgundy
Acquired in 2017 by the Artemis group, which also owns prestigious estates like Château Latour, Clos de Tart continues to uphold its tradition of excellence under the leadership of a talented team. Each bottle of this legendary Grand Cru embodies history, craftsmanship, and the pinnacle of Burgundian winemaking. A true jewel of the Côte de Nuits, Clos de Tart captivates collectors and fine wine enthusiasts worldwide.
