The palate is beautifully structured with fine tannin, tensile, refined and aristocratic. There is a brilliant focus here and an extraordinary sustained finish that leaves you desperate for the next sip. What it shares in common with the 2008 Clos de Tart Grand Cru is that it is predestined to be overshadowed by the 2009 and 2010. That should not be the case - it is a quite brilliant articulation of the Clos.

One parcel was picked on September 19, but the main picking was September 28 until October 1. The yield was a measly 14.3hl\/ha, alcohol at 14.2°. It was also the first vintage entirely plowed by horse. It has a much fresher and more vital bouquet than the preceding vintage and appears to capture the essence of Pinot Noir with great aplomb. Raspberries, a punnet of freshly picked strawberries and a touch of pressed rose petals all join the wonderful, aromatic chorus line. The palate is very nicely structured, featuring crushed strawberry, raspberry preserve and light sour cherry notes. The tannins are finer here than in recent vintages – perhaps more in the style that Jacques Desvauges has created in recent years. Superb.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJasper Morris, Inside Burgundy, November 2015 - 93P - 3-Star:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRicher darker colour than the 2013 but although the fruit is very concentrated it seems a touch less fresh. Heading a little touch towards the prunes but the palate includes a rich mouthful of concentrated strawberries, dipped in chocolate perhaps. The structure is more based on tannin than acidity. A wine for the long term but quite firmly in the Pitiot style.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mb-2 mt-6 text-lg first:mt-3\"\u003eGeneral Information:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDomaine Clos de Tart is a historic and prestigious wine estate located in Morey-Saint-Denis, in the heart of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits.
