📜 Clos de Tart
A grand cru in Morey-Saint-Denis owned entirely by a single proprietor.
Clos de Tart is a grand cru in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis in the Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France. The site is entirely owned by a single owner. The name is protected as a PDO.
The word "clos" means a walled vineyard, and this site really is surrounded by a wall. It covers about 7.5 hectares. Pinot Noir grows here and makes still red wines. The site is called a monopole because it has one owner, which is rare in Burgundy: most vineyards are divided among many families.
The history of Clos de Tart goes back to the Middle Ages. It was first owned by the Cistercian nuns of the abbey at Tart, from whom it got its name. It later passed to other owners. The wine is regarded as one of the best known in Morey-Saint-Denis. It is full, structured, with notes of dark berries, spice and earth, and can age for decades. Such wines are served with game and meat. Clos de Tart is part of the Côte de Nuits, with other grands crus nearby. For connoisseurs it is an example of a single whole plot that defines the style of the wine.
