Tasting notes
The 2019 Clos de Tart Grand Cru has a wonderful bouquet of ebullient red berry fruit, hints of tea leaf and sous-bois , understated initially but unfurling with each swirl of the glass. The palate is very well balanced, with pure red fruit laced with white pepper and graphite, pleasing linearity, good focus and a saline finish. Persistent on the aftertaste, this is a compelling Grand Cru with a long and prosperous future ahead. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2019 Clos de Tart Grand Cru has turned out brilliantly. Mingling notes of wild berries and cherries with hints of peonies, rose petal, orange rind, exotic spices and musk, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with a velvety attack that segues into a fleshy, textural mid-palate defined by depth and purity of fruit, concluding with a long and penetrating finish.
The 2019 Clos de Tart Grand Cru took some time to cohere on the nose and obliged aeration in my glass. But it coalesces nicely with blackberry, briary, wild heather and crushed stone aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a earthy, spicy, slightly minty entry. Fine grip, very fresh towards the finish with a dash of white pepper and lingers long in the mouth. Excellent.
