Producers and Wine Reviews about the "Clos de Tart AOC"

Grand Cru vineyard in the municipality of Morey-Saint-Denis in the Côte d'Or region (Burgundy). It was already mentioned at the beginning of the 12th century under the former name "La Forge". In 1141, it was acquired by the St Bernardine abbey "Notre-Dame de Tart" and was given its current name. After a chequered history with several changes of ownership, the site was acquired as a monopole in 1932 by Joanny Mommessin, a wine merchant based in Mâcon (Beaujolais). It was classified as a Grand Cru in 1939. The "Domaine du Clos de Tart" has been managed by Sylvain Piteot since 1996, who has implemented a number of quality-improving measures. A yield restriction was introduced, chemical fertilisers were dispensed with and the cement fermentation tanks were replaced with stainless steel. The vineyard, which faces east-south-east at around 300 metres above sea level, covers 7.5 hectares of vines on weathered limestone. The Clos in the name refers to an enclosure with walls. To the north is the Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru vineyard, to the south is the Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru vineyard.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
