WINEMAKER NOTES
2014 Domaine du Clos de Tart 'Clos de Tart' Grand Cru Monopole, Cote de Nuits, France
Summary of the Vintage
Despite changeable weather throught the season, this is a charming vintage. Due to a mild winter and equally warm spring (+1.6°C higher than average temperatures in the first six months), bud break was early (27th March) and vegetative growth continued at a rapid pace. Uncommonly good conditions early June similarly lead to an early flowering (4th June). Clos de Tart fortuitously avoided the hail storm of 28th June that struck some estates in the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. July and August were cold with significant cloud cover which slowed down the ripening of the grapes. Thankfully, a brisk North wind in September brought with it dry, sunny and cool weather enabling the grapes to reach maturity in optimal conditions. We started harvesting on 18th September and finished 5 days later.
Tasting Notes
2014 is a charming and elegant vintage in which Pinot Noir really shows its ability to give great wines despite the difficult conditions. This Clos de Tart is intensely aromatic with red fruits and spices on the nose. It has a lovely freshness on the palate with ripe tannins.
