WINEMAKER NOTES
2016 Clos de Tart Grand Cru Monopole – Burgundian Pinot Noir Masterpiece
Hailing from the storied walls of the single-owner vineyard at Clos de Tart in the heart of Morey‑Saint‑Denis, this 2016 vintage reflects the exceptional pedigree of the estate in the Côte de Nuits. In a year of precise climatic conditions, the wine emerges with both energy and depth, making it a fine wine investment for serious collectors.
Tasting Notes
The nose presents an array of wild raspberry, red-currant and rose petal, subtly framed by graphite and lightly spiced underbrush. On the palate the texture is sleek yet firm, with vibrant acidity supporting a dense core of black cherry, blood-orange zest and hints of wet stone. The tannins are polished but structured, leading to an enduring finish with saline nuance and floral echoes.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
This wine is 100 % Pinot Noir from the closed vineyard of Clos de Tart, planted on argilo-calcaire soils and cultivated under low yield regimes. The 2016 blend underwent barrel ageing in approximately 80 % new French oak to integrate refinement with structure. The estate’s monopole status ensures seamless consistency of terroir and high retention value for collectors.
Investment & Collectibility
As a monopole Grand Cru of Burgundy, the 2016 Clos de Tart carries prestige and rarity in equal measure. With a limited number of bottles in circulation and acclaim from multiple critics, it is well placed for long-term cellaring and secondary market interest. Its compact yet powerful structure suggests longevity well into the next two decades or more.
Vintage Insights & Accolades
The 2016 vintage in the Côte de Nuits was marked by a cool spring and an extended, moderate-temperature summer, allowing perfect ripening while preserving freshness. At Clos de Tart the result is a wine of clarity and focus rather than overt richness.
