WINEMAKER NOTES
2021 Domaine du Clos de Tart 'Clos de Tart' Grand Cru Monopole, Cote de Nuits, France
2021 VINTAGE AT THE ESTATE
2021 was a cool and late vintage.
The season began with a significant water deficit. Indeed, the weather was particularly dry from November until April.
Unseasonably warm conditions at the beginning of April kickstarted vegetative growth but this was stopped in its tracks by a brutal drop in temperatures accompanied by a snowy spell. After this cold snap, temperatures increased but very slowly so budburst only occurred around 20th April, which was two-weeks later than in 2020.
Weather conditions then continued to be cooler than normal, slowing down the development of the vines. Growth sped up significantly at the beginning of June, thanks to the return of seasonal temperatures and abundant May rainfall. The flowering process took place quickly and was completed in just one week starting on 10th June, though this was three-weeks later than in 2020.
Summer remained cool and wet and only 75% of berries had changed colour by the end of August. Fortunately, the return of fine weather at the end of August and the beginning of September helped the berries reach optimal maturity by the time harvest was on the horizon.
Picking started on Monday 20th September, which was roughly a month later than in 2020, demonstrating the late nature of this vintage. Harvest lasted for 6 days and took place in good conditions.
