Clos de Tart 2011: an early-maturing vintage made under Mommessin

This 0.75 L bottle of Clos de Tart is from the 2011 harvest, made while the Mommessin family still owned the estate, six years before the Pinault family agreed to buy it. The wine is 100% Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits.

A single 7.53 ha walled vineyard in Morey-Saint-Denis

Clos de Tart is one of five Grand Cru appellations in Morey-Saint-Denis. It is a monopole: one parcel of 7.53 ha enclosed by a dry-stone wall of 1.2 km, with a single owner at a time. It is the largest Grand Cru monopole in Burgundy.

The plot lies mid-slope at 269 to 302 m with a south-easterly aspect, on clay-limestone soil. Today the average vine age is about 60 years, some vines are over 100 years old, and the vineyard is split into twelve subplots harvested separately. Biodynamic practices began in 2016 and Biodyvin certification followed in 2019, so neither applies to the 2011.

Clos de Tart from 1141 to the Pinault sale

Cistercian nuns of Tart Abbey, a dependency of Cîteaux, founded the vineyard in 1141. In 1855 it was ranked Tête de Cuvée in the Côte-d’Or classification, the only Morey-Saint-Denis estate to receive that rank. Henri Mommessin bought the property at auction in 1932, and the Clos de Tart AOC was granted in 1939. The 2011 was made under Mommessin ownership. Artémis Domaines, the holding of the Pinault family, agreed to buy the estate in October 2017, with the sale closing in early 2018.

Questions buyers ask

Was Clos de Tart 2011 made before the Pinault purchase?

Yes. The 2011 was made under Mommessin ownership. Artémis Domaines, the Pinault family holding, agreed to buy the estate in October 2017, and the sale closed in early 2018.

Is Clos de Tart 2011 biodynamic?

No. Biodynamic practices were introduced in 2016 and Biodyvin certification followed in 2019, after the 2011 harvest.

Is 2011 a good vintage in the Côte de Nuits?

The Robert Parker Wine Advocate vintage chart scores red Côte de Nuits 2011 at 91 and labels it E, early maturing and accessible.

When should Clos de Tart 2011 be drunk?

Our suggested drinking window runs from 2016 to 2035, so the wine is inside its window now.

Which grape is Clos de Tart made from?

Pinot Noir. The AOC rules allow up to 15% Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris, but in practice Pinot Noir is the only variety used.
