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.

Unwinding in the glass to reveal notions of sweet red berries and plums mingled with orange zest, rose petals and sweet spices, the 2021 Clos de Tart Grand Cru is full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a textural attack that segues into a layered, enveloping mid-palate, framed by sweet, powdery tannins and ripe acids. This combines all the inherent charm of the vintage with rare depth and seriousness. Reviewed by William Kelley. Issue date January 31, 2023. Drinking window: N/A.

Vinous

The 2021 Clos de Tart Grand Cru was bottled in July 2023. It has much more intensity than the La Forge, though there remains a bit of new oak to be subsumed at the moment. The medium-bodied palate has fine depth and freshness, considering the growing season. It offers soft red berry fruit and touches of sous-bois - not complex but feels long and tender on the finish. Perhaps not quite matching my expectations from barrel, yet it is still a commendable showing, given the season. Reviewed by Neal Martin. Issue date November 2023. Drinking window: 2026 - 2044.
