Clos de Tart Grand Cru — Legendary Monopole of Morey-Saint-Denis

Located in Morey-Saint-Denis, at the heart of the Côte de Nuits, Clos de Tart Grand Cru is one of Burgundy’s most iconic vineyards. Founded in 1141 by the Cistercian monks of Tart Abbey, it represents nearly nine centuries of uninterrupted viticultural history. Remarkably, it has belonged to only three owners since its creation — a testament to its unique heritage and continuity.

An Exceptional Terroir

Clos de Tart covers 7.53 hectares in a single block, making it a Grand Cru monopole entirely owned by one estate. The terroir consists of marl-rich clay-limestone soils that give the wines power, depth and structure. Its east-southeast exposure on a gentle slope ensures slow, even ripening of the Pinot Noir grapes — the sole variety cultivated in this legendary vineyard.

Style and Tasting Profile

Clos de Tart is renowned for its noble character: intense aromas of ripe black fruits, violet, cocoa, sweet spices and fine oak, supported by a delicate mineral backbone. Over time, it develops notes of truffle, undergrowth and leather, gaining in silkiness and harmony. Its firm yet velvety tannins grant it an exceptional aging potential, often exceeding 30 years in top vintages.

Food Pairings

• Lamb shoulder with morels
