Medium ruby , quite wide garnet rim . Violets, rose and summer fruits , touch of smoke and earthy notes . On the palate quite structured , with red cherry , blackberry , blackcurrant , quite a mineral , earthy backbone . Nice density , and good fresh acidity , decent saline tinged length , slightly gritty tannin . Really developed well with time in the glass, showing more mineral and structure , great finesse. This is showing quite young still and will likely improve over the next few years and last well another decade. — a month ago

9.2

The 2006 Clos de Tart was one of the better wines from Sylvain Pitiot's era. It has evolved a little since my last tasting in 2018. The broody black fruit on the nose still oddly harks toward Bordeaux. It's not as tight-fisted as before. The palate is structured with a lot of substance; what it lacks in elegance, it compensates with sheer bravura. Perhaps it just lacks the precision on the finish to compel you back for another sip. This wine is for those who seek Burgundy Grand Cru with body. (Neal Martin, Vinous, June 2024)
