Description

Clos de Tart 2014
Mommessin
2owc
Magnum (6)


"There is whiff of new wood framing the intensely floral-suffused nose and in particular rose petal and lavender that add elegance to the fresh mix of mostly red and dark currant scents that are trimmed in discreet earth hints. There is a lovely sense of energy to the moderately dense middle weight plus flavors that culminate in a dusty, palate coating and beautifully long finish. This is already completely harmonious and should make for terrific drinking for years to come." (93 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jan. 2017)

"The 2014 Clos de Tart Grand Cru, Sylvain Pitiot's final vintage, was picked from September 5 at 22hl/ha. (Incidentally, this was the first year the vineyard was tended organically.) It has a rich, exotic bouquet of macerated red cherries, black olive compote, fig and crushed violets. There is still some new oak to be subsumed here. The burly, powerful palate is full-bodied with saturated tannin, although it does not possess the delineation or mineralité on the finish that Jacques Desvauges has sought." (94 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Nov. 2018)

"What we tasted was not a finished wine, but the ‘hypothetical blend’. Clear and light in colour, with cleanly defined, fresh yet sweet scents of raspberry. After that youthful sweetness, the incision of the palate was a shock: high-focus, pure, long and thrusting, and grippy towards the finish. Brilliantly sustained by its raspberry fruits, though; long and pure on the finish." (93-95 pts. Andrew Jefford, Decanter, April 2016)
