Description
Despite a very cold week in March, in which temperatures fluctuated between -5°C and -9°C, winter and spring in 2018 were very mild. That said, the bud burst occurred on April 16, about 6-8 days later than normal. These warm temperatures were accompanied by significant rainfall: In the period from October to March they recorded 142 mm more rain than average and fifteen days of non-stop rainfall between mid-May and mid-June (164 mm) followed. These wet and warm conditions encouraged very rapid growth and required attentive work in the vineyard. Flowering occurred early, quickly and evenly. The vines were in mid bloom on May 30th and finished blooming on June 1st. From mid-June the weather changed. Although temperatures remained high, very dry conditions were experienced with only 47mm of rain in July and 13mm in August. Thanks to the abundant water reserves in the soil, the vines continued to grow and by July 27, half of the grapes had changed color. The grapes ripened without any problems in August, despite the hot and often scorching weather. The harvest was early and they started picking on August 30th and continued non-stop until September 3rd. The grapes revealed beautiful aromas, thick skins and ripe tannins.
The wine matures for 18 months, 80% of which is in new French oak barrels. The bottling took place in May 2020. The wine has a beautiful deep color with a complex nose of generous red berries, poached plums, cherries and some dark fruit after aeration, as well as floral notes of rose and violet. On the palate this wine shows that it is of a warm vintage, powerful, intense and fleshy, yet incredibly elegant with soft and silky tannins.

Door zijn krachtige structuur en zijdezachte tannines past deze wijn bijzonder goed bij gerechten met een stevige en verfijnde smaak, zoals geroosterd rundvlees, sappige wildgerechten of gevogelte met een rijke saus. Vooral bereidingswijzen waarbij het vlees langzaam gegaard wordt of gegrild op de barbecue komen uitstekend tot hun recht, zodat de wijn en het gerecht elkaar mooi aanvullen en versterken. |

The 2018 Clos de Tart Grand Cru opens in the glass with rich aromas of raspberries, plum preserve, ripe berries, warm spices and rose petals, framed by a generous touch of creamy new oak. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's rich, muscular and extracted, with a brooding, introverted profile that will require—and, one hopes, reward—patience. As I wrote last year, this is a powerful, broad-shouldered Clos de Tart that has more in common with the wines of the Pitiot era than it does with what the domaine produced in 2015, 2016, 2017 or 2019.
This was my first tasting with Alessandro Noli, the new régisseur of Clos de Tart. Noli previously superintended the Rhône's Château Grillet and before that worked at Domaine d'Eugenie in Vosne-Romanée. A new cuverie has been constructed and the cellars renovated, and it is clear that everything will change at this historic address—but more on that next year, as the wines I tased on this occasion had all been made by the previous régisseur, Jacques Desvauges, who is now installed next door at the Domaine des Lambrays. Desvauges harvested early in 2018 but nonetheless a few days after the Clos des Lambrays was picked, and the resulting wines are quite ripe, oaky and fruit-driven in style, nodding as much to the Sylvain Pitiot era at Clos de Tart as they do to Desvauges's 2017, 2016, or even 2015 vintages. Indeed, on the basis of this first encounter, the 2018 would rank as my least-favorite of Desvauges's four vintages here by some margin. But a definitive judgment will have to wait until the wine is in bottle next year, when I look forward to going into more detail about the changes at the estate, as well as tasting Noli's first wines.
Alessandro Noli, the new régisseur of Clos de Tart, seems to have found his feet in short order, and I was very impressed by his debut 2019 vintage. Changes here include much gentler handling of the grapes during cuvaison—just occasional "foulage," as Noli puts it, by foot—and diminished percentages of new oak: 70% for the Tart herself, and 50% for the Forge. Some concrete eggs, it seems, now keep the fûts company in the cellar. The 2019s, produced by these methods, showed brilliantly, and I look forward to seeing what Noli will be able to achieve in coming vintages. The burly, rich and overtly sun-kissed 2018 vintage, by contrast, can't claim to number among my favorites, and it will clearly take a distant last place among the four vintages produced during Jacques Desvauges' time as régisseur of this historic domaine.

From: Dealing with the New Paradigm: Burgundy 2018 (Nov 2022)
The 2018 Clos de Tart Grand Cru was wonderful from barrel but now it seems to have gone up another level. It has an exquisite bouquet with wonderful mineralité infusing the brambly red fruit. Wonderful focus and quite profound complexity. You could nose this forever. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiselled tannins married with a killer line of natural acidity. Everything is perfectly proportioned in this wine, very persistent with layers of dark berry fruit laced with white pepper and tea leaf on the finish. Immense. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.
