Domaine du Clos de Tart 'Clos de Tart' Grand Cru Monopole 1990

Domaine du Clos de Tart ‘Clos de Tart’ Grand Cru Monopole 1990 is one of Burgundy’s most celebrated Pinot Noir expressions, drawn from a rare single-owner Grand Cru vineyard in Morey-Saint-Denis. With nearly 900 years of history behind the Clos de Tart site, this wine combines heritage, prestige, and the kind of site-specific character that defines great Côte de Nuits.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 1990 Clos de Tart typically shows a deep, mature garnet hue with the elegance and density expected from a great Grand Cru Burgundy at an advanced stage of development. The bouquet is layered and complex, unfolding with notes of ripe cherry, forest floor, dried violets, exotic spice, earth, and a mineral core. On the palate, it is known for remarkable concentration balanced by finesse, with silky tannins, vivid freshness, and a long, resonant finish. The wine’s structure and depth give it excellent aging potential, and in a great vintage like 1990 it can continue to evolve gracefully for many years, rewarding patience with ever more nuanced complexity.

Production
Clos de Tart comes from a 7.53-hectare Grand Cru monopole in Morey-Saint-Denis, one of Burgundy’s most historic and revered vineyard sites. The terroir is distinguished by its exceptional continuity, with a single owner controlling the entire parcel, allowing for highly consistent viticulture and expression of place. The vineyards are worked with close attention to detail, and the Pinot Noir is harvested at optimal ripeness before careful vinification designed to preserve purity, aromatic complexity, and the refined structure that has made Clos de Tart a benchmark for serious Burgundy collectors.

Food & Serving
Serve at 16–18°C and, given its age, consider opening the bottle well in advance or decanting gently only if necessary to remove sediment and allow the aromatics to open. It pairs beautifully with game birds, roast duck, beef tenderloin, braised lamb, and dishes featuring mushrooms or truffles.

Producer
