Note di degustazione
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. Tasted at Clos de Tart.

A sensational 2014 by Sylvain Pitiot and Jacques Devauges, the 2014 Clos De Tart Grand Cru is an incredibly perfumed, elegant wine that shines for its complexity, texture, and length. Beautiful black raspberries, spice, damp underbrush, sous bois, and spice aromas and flavors all flow to a medium-bodied effort that has no hard edges, perfect balance, and polished, yet present tannin. With surprising length and building tannin, it needs 5-7 years of cellaring and is going to knock your socks off over the coming two decades.
Moderately saturated medium red. Bright scents of dark cherry, flowers and spices enlivened by pepper and herb nuances; not a particularly underbrushy style. Wonderfully silky and perfumed on the palate, with flavors of raspberry, spices and flowers conveying a slightly exotic character but not quite the thickness this wine displayed from barrel in late 2015. In fact, this very long wine tightened up in the glass as mineral and herbal elements emerged. Seven or eight years of bottle aging should bring even greater complexity.
