Tim ATKIN, 2017 Vintage

CLOS DE TART GRAND CRU MONOPOLE
96

Despite what has been written about high yields in the Côte de Nuits in 2017, Jacques Devauges made less Clos de Tart than he did in 2016. Picked much earlier than it used to be when Sylvain Pitiot was in charge, this is a fine, focused, nuanced wine that expresses the complexity of this monopole grand cru. With deftly integrated 60% whole bunches and 80% new wood, it's elegant, floral and precise with chalky freshness. Drinking Window 2023 - 2032
