Clos de Tart, a 7.5-hectare monopole Grand Cru vineyard in Morey-Saint-Denis, is one of Burgundy`s most prestigious sites, with an impressive reputation for producing exceptional Pinot Noir. Under the guidance of Sylvain Pitiot (1996-2015), the quality of Clos de Tart reached extraordinary heights. The 1978 Clos de Tart stands as a testament to the vineyard`s pedigree, offering a truly legendary example of what this Grand Cru is capable of. This is a wine of prestige, with decades of development adding layers of complexity. The nose is a mix of dried red fruit, leather, and earthy spice, while the palate displays a delicate balance of sweetness and savoury notes, with fine tannins still present. The wine`s length and depth are remarkable, making it a rare and exceptional offering from one of Burgundy’s most iconic vineyards.
