Clos De Tart Description
Alluring crimson robe with a wonderfully complex nose showing fresh red fruits, such as wild strawberry and loganberry as well as darker fruit flavours of blackcurrant and plum, along with earthy, spicy notes and a delicate floral perfume. On the palate this wine shows its pedigree, exhibiting exquisite balance and precision.
Wine Advocate: 97 Points
The 2019 Clos de Tart Grand Cru has turned out brilliantly. Mingling notes of wild berries and cherries with hints of peonies, rose petal, orange rind, exotic spices and musk, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with a velvety attack that segues into a fleshy, textural mid-palate defined by depth and purity of fruit, concluding with a long and penetrating finish.
Vinous: 96 Points
The 2019 Clos de Tart Grand Cru has a wonderful bouquet of ebullient red berry fruit, hints of tea leaf and sous-bois, understated initially but unfurling with each swirl of the glass. The palate is very well balanced, with pure red fruit laced with white pepper and graphite, pleasing linearity, good focus and a saline finish. Persistent on the aftertaste, this is a compelling Grand Cru with a long and prosperous future ahead.
Decanter: 95 Points
An impressive wine on every level, produced from an ancient vineyard in a completely new winery, with high-tech installation but ultra-traditional, open-top wood fermenters. The new regisseur, Alessandro Noli, has continued the work begun by Jacques Devauges to modernise the process, picking earlier (but not too early) as, according to Noli, 'we don’t want prune juice'. Now the wine is extremely polished, rich and firm, but not overdone.
Burghound: 95 Points
A much more floral-suffused nose reflects notes of essence of plum, cassis, black raspberry liqueur, herbal tea and discreet wood influence. There is excellent volume and mid-palate density to the sappy, refined and tautly muscular larger-scaled flavors that coat the palate on the lingering and firmer finish that is shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins. This compact and mildly warm effort needs to develop better overall depth, but everything seems to be in place such that it should be terrific in time.
