Clos de Tart Grand Cru Monopole – Clos de Tart Grand Cru – Red – 2008:

 

The Unparalleled Luxury of Clos de Tart Grand Cru Monopole

Clos de Tart Grand Cru Monopole is one of Burgundy’s most legendary and consistent wines. As a Monopole-a vineyard entirely owned by a single estate-its 7.53 hectares in Morey-Saint-Denis offer a singular expression of Pinot Noir. This is a wine of profound history, dating back to 1141, and a hallmark of the Côte de Nuits’ finest terroirs.

Tasting Profile: Power, Finesse, and Longevity

The wine showcases a masterful balance between powerful structure and ethereal finesse. It is built to age, rewarding collectors with decades of evolution. Expect a layered profile that shifts from vibrant youth to tertiary complexity.

• Aroma: Intense and complex, featuring concentrated black and red fruits (black cherry, raspberry), evolving into sophisticated notes of truffle, forest floor, exotic spice, and a hint of smoky minerality.
• Palate: Full-bodied yet impeccably elegant. The texture is plush and silky, balanced by a firm, yet rounded tannic structure and a brilliant acidity that drives a monumental finish. This is an age-worthy powerhouse.

Pairing Recommendations & Service

This Grand Cru demands a dish of comparable complexity and richness. Serve it at a cellar temperature (55°F – 59°F) and consider decanting younger vintages to allow its full depth to emerge.

• Pairings: Prime Rib with Wild Mushroom Jus, Roasted Venison Loin, Peking Duck, and high-end, soft-centered cheeses.
