FEATURES
The 2007 Clos de Tart Grand Cru is a full-bodied red Burgundy from the iconic monopole vineyard in Morey-Saint-Denis. This vintage, picked in early September, yielded a wine with 13.66° alcohol and was matured in new oak for 18 months. It's noted for being relatively lighter and more approachable compared to the 2006, offering vivacious cranberry, crushed strawberry, and red currant fruit, intertwined with subtle oyster shell aromas. The palate reveals sappy red fruit with a hint of sweet and sour, leading to a fleshy, smooth finish. Critics have praised its intensity, with aromas of graphite and mineral, complemented by black cherry, black currant, and spice flavors. It shows concentration and a juicy texture, with a long, peppery aftertaste and fine harmony. The wine is entering a beautiful stage of maturity, showcasing rose petal, dried cherry, raspberry preserve, orange peel, sandalwood, sous-bois, and Asian spice on the nose, with the signature iron-rich minerality of Morey-Saint-Denis emerging. The palate is silky and refined, emphasizing finesse over power, with red fruit, tea leaf, and dried herbs. 【A Grand Cru Monopole with impressive depth and elegance in a lighter vintage.】
