Tasting notes
The 2022 Clos de Tart has the fleshiest nose of the range, driven by juicy, expressive red fruit, it’s almost playful. On a second swirl, it reveals further layers and facets, with floral notes, a Pinot that “pinote”, as the French would say. On the palate, the wine is multilayered, with a hint of white pepper that quickly gives way to more profound notes of ripe red berries. Its structure builds up on the palate, with velvet tannins, yet you can feel there is enough structure to age beautifully. It shows impressive balance all the way, with great interplay between the richness and concentration of the fruit and its lovely freshness. It is one of the great successes of the vintage and a wine that should reward give to eight years of cellaring before showing its full potential.

A rich wine that develops beautifully in the glass and the tannins are really fine, adding framing and energy to an otherwise rich and characterful wine. It\'s full-bodied with a silky texture and lots of ripe strawberry, pie crust and light chocolate, as well as some earthy and bark undertones. Iodine and fresh flowers too. Precise, focused and refined at the end. Impressive to taste, but drink after 2030.
I tasted the 2022 Clos de Tart Grand Cru from a wide Burgundy-type glass. It feels a little closed at the moment after bottling. Redcurrant/cranberry fruit open, with blacker fruit emerging with aeration. Hints of wild mint and thyme linger in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with bold tannins, but there is sufficient fruit to back it up. There is firm grip toward the finish, where I would just like a little more transparency and Pinoté , hence my score.
