Clos de Tart, crafted by the iconic Mommessin family, comes from one of Burgundy’s most exclusive vineyards. As one of only five monopoles in Burgundy—a Grand Cru vineyard entirely owned by a single producer—Clos de Tart is as exclusive as it gets. The 2009 vintage, known as an exceptional year in Burgundy, brings out the vineyard’s signature finesse and balance, especially alongside standout years like 2012 and 2014. Presented in magnum format, this bottle has an extended drink window than a standard bottle, giving it even more time to evolve and impress. With its grand cru status and iconic monopole heritage, this is the kind of wine that adds serious depth and prestige to any collection.

What the experts say about this wine👇

The 2009 Clos de Tart Grand Cru is a wine that turns everything up to 11. It was picked from September 15 at 29.4hl/ha with 13.6° alcohol, then matured for 17 months in new oak. There was some whole bunch here, although I do not know the exact percentage. The incredibly intense, powerful bouquet of red cherries, kirsch and cranberry is augmented by light floral scents, although there is more glycerin here than I recollect on previous bottles. The palate is medium-bodied, muscular and well-balanced, offering firm, grippy tannins that lacquer the mouth. As I have observed before, with aeration this becomes more clenched and more like the 2010 in style, though I seek a little more detail on the finish, where the precocity of the growing season blurs the edges. Give it another three to five years. Tasted at a private Clos de Tart dinner in London. Drink through 2040.

The 2009 Clos de Tart saturates the palate with exotic, ripe red fruit. The quality of the fruit gives an impression of near seamlessness despite the wine’s considerable volume and depth. Tar, licorice and smoke are some of the many notes that wrap around the intense, powerful finish. There is more than enough depth and pure pedigree to allow the 2009 to enjoy a long life in the cellar. Drink 2024-2044.

Ripe and exotic, offering wild berry, black currant and violet aromas and flavors. The oak is well-integrated, lending sandalwood notes, and this is firmly structured, with a long, detailed aftertaste. Shows fine pedigree.
