Readers may remember that 2013 was Sylvain Pitiot’s final vintage as régisseur (manager/cellarmaster) of Clos de Tart before he handed the keys to Jacques Devauges. Pitiot told us at the time he believed 2013 to be one of the great vintages he produced at Clos de Tart, and he was not the kind of guy to pump up his own tyres. Picking began very late on 8th October, which is key to understanding the quality and classicism. Pitiot was determined to wait for full ripeness, which was not always the case in 2013. The wine fermented naturally with 60% bunches and matured for just under 17 months in 100% new Tronçais oak. As always, the wine was hand-bottled by gravity without fining or filtration. Crafted from yields of only 23hl/ha, it has the power and fabulous depth of the clos, with a finesse rarely achieved in this terroir.

Reviews

“The 2013 Clos de Tart Grand Cru was picked from October 8. I prefer the bouquet to that of the more confit-like 2014; this is very fresh and vivacious, offering black cherries mixed with blueberry and light violet aromas, the mineral component more expressive. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit on the entry, tinged with graphite. Shows good weight but tightens up toward the back end, suggesting that it may close down. Quite saline on the finish. Give it 7–8 years in bottle.”
95 points, Neal Martin, Vinous (Tasted 2019)
“Fine bright youthful purple. The nose is a touch crunchier in style than the 2014. Very complete, a nice complement of oak, attractive fruit at the front which then develops more energy behind, really lovely, very full and long and with a fresh crunchy precision.” 95 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy (Tasted 2015)
