2000 | Clos de Tart | Mommessin

Seductive Burgundy. Racy yet thick, full of ripe fruit and supple tannins, a mouthful of pleasure from start to finish, bursting with blackberries and chocolate notes. Full-bodied, with a soft midpalate and a silky finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Tasted at the pre-dinner vertical to mark Sylvain Pitiot's retirement from the domaine, the 2000 Clos de Tart Grand Cru has a slightly shallow bouquet compared to other vintages of similar age. What it lacks in intensity it compensates in terms of brightness and precision. This is a joyous nose that doesn't really care too much about any deficiencies. The palate is medium-bodied and is actually superior to the nose with pleasant, fleshy red fruit; it is spicy and peppery in the mouth, linear and long. This is far more satisfying than I presupposed - the kind of grand cru you yearn to drink and not intellectualize over.

• Decanter: Glowing, resonant, rounded aromas and flavours, with fruit and texture perfectly synthesized. This is ripe enough for there to be a little meaty warmth beginning to show, yet it also has a spring-like sappy energy inscribed within it; the result of this tension is pure deliciousness. This would be the Clos de Tart I’d chose to drink at present if I was indeed the Duke of Burgundy.
