Domaine du Clos de Tart

Clos de Tart: an exceptional estate

With a distinguished history spanning nine centuries, Clos de Tart is one of Burgundy's most treasured wine estates. Founded by the Bernardine nuns of Tart Abbey in 1141, and subsequently owned by two renowned families - Marey-Monge and Mommessin - this estate has been expertly producing wines since before the French Revolution. Its legacy lives on today, with each bottle offering exceptional quality with every sip.

The Pinault family, renowned for their passion and preservation of historic properties such as Château Latour in Pauillac, have undertaken crucial work to perpetuate the estate's majestic architectural legacy. In 2019, they unveiled an ultra-modern winery that has pushed the estate's winemaking to unprecedented levels of excellence.

The Clos de Tart, located in the famous Côte de Nuits region, is home to some of the oldest and most complex terroir. Its venerable Pinot Noir vines, some over 60 years old, are planted in twelve microclimates ranging from limestone to clay, each offering a unique flavor profile. In an effort to protect this precious land for future generations, the Clos De Tart winemakers have fully embraced biodynamic agriculture since 2016; confirmed by their Biodyvin certification in 2019.

Benefiting from a highly prestigious designation as one of the few Grands Crus Monopoles, Clos de Tart is an exceptional estate for those looking to embark on a luxurious oenological journey. Spanning 7.53 hectares of lush terroir covered with centuries-old vines and never successively divided, this Burgundy landmark promises an unforgettable experience steeped in history and wines of unrivalled quality, worthy of true connoisseurs.

The wines of Clos de Tart are celebrated the world over by eminent critics, connoisseurs and gourmets alike. With its three masterful cuvées - Clos de Tart Grand Cru Monopole, La Forge de Tart Premier Cru and Morey-Saint-Denis - this remarkable Burgundian gem shines brightly as a symbol of quality and rarity.

It's one of Burgundy's finest jewels. Clos de Tart is a delight for lovers of great Pinot Noirs. This immense estate produces one of the five grands crus of the Morey-Saint-Denis appellation. Founded in 1411 by the Cistercian nuns of the Abbaye de Tart, this illustrious winegrowing estate is now owned by François Pinault. Nine centuries later, Clos de Tart produces one of the finest red wines on the Côte de Nuits, a symbol of Burgundian excellence.

Le Clos de Tart is unique in that it is a single estate: 7.5 hectares give rise to a single grand cru: Clos de Tart, Burgundy's largest monopole. The estate is run using organic farming methods. The wines are vinified by Alessandro Noli, who succeeds Jacques Devauges. The winemaker is moving towards more supple wines, while respecting the authenticity and excellence of this Morey-Saint-Denis grand cru. Morey's single grape variety, pinot noir, benefits from deep clay-limestone soil and rich loam. The estate is divided into 12 microclimates, each of which is vinified separately to preserve the richness of the terroirs, made up of a variety of soils including limestone, clay, marl and gravel. This geological complexity is reflected in the wines, which reveal red fruit, violet and rose aromas in their youth, and develop notes of truffle and leather over time.

Clos de Tart Grand Cru Monopole wines are highly prized for their structure, finesse and long ageing potential. They are the epitome of Burgundian excellence, seducing connoisseurs and collectors the world over. Limited production, coupled with high-precision vinification by Alessandro Noli, gives these cuvées a rarity that is reflected in their value and renown.
