Clos de Tart Grand Cru Monopole – Clos de Tart Grand Cru – Red – 2008:

 

Clos de Tart: The Grand Cru Monopole of Morey-Saint-Denis

The Clos de Tart Grand Cru Monopole is a true icon, representing the pinnacle of Burgundy winemaking. A rare Monopole-meaning the entire 7.53-hectare vineyard is under single ownership-it delivers a consistent, world-class expression of Pinot Noir from the heart of the Côte de Nuits. Its heritage dates back to the Cistercian nuns in 1141, cementing its status as a historical treasure.

Sommelier’s Notes: Structure and Silk

This is a wine for the cellar, known for its ability to develop extraordinary complexity over many years. It bridges the powerful structure of Gevrey-Chambertin with the fragrant elegance of Chambolle-Musigny, offering the best of both worlds in a single, magnificent bottle.

• Nose: Initially concentrated red and black berries, moving to complex tertiary notes of damp earth, game, leather, and nuanced violet.
• Taste: Exhibits a silky mouthfeel and tremendous depth. The tannins are robust yet refined, perfectly integrated with the vibrant acidity. The finish is persistent, showcasing the vineyard’s unique clay-limestone terroir.

Food Pairings & Serving

A wine of this stature should be paired with classic, rich dishes. Decant young bottles for 1-2 hours. Serve at 13°C to 15°C (55°F to 59°F).

• Pairings: Traditional Roast Lamb, Beef Wellington, Fine Game Pie, and mature, quality British cheeses.
