Love It

Clos de Tart may be the single most under-rated Grand Cru Burgundy there is... A monopole, owned entirely by Mommessin, and in turn by Boisset doesn't make flashy, powerful wine. The Grand Cru is instead elgance and finesse - now I'm not claiming it's a Le Musigny, but I'd give it a run against Romanee-St.-Vivant... the 2005 is spectacular, the 2001 is fabulous... a great wine. I love the 2001s... keep your eyes out for Sylvain Pitiot and his Clos de Tart...
