Clos de Tart 1997 Mommessin

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (92)

Tasted at the pre-dinner vertical to mark Sylvain Pitiot's retirement from the domaine, The 1997 Clos de Tart Grand Cru is the one to go for over the 1998. There is a wonderful purity and terroir expression on the nose with bright redcurrant and cranberry leaf notes, wilted rose petals and bergamot tea. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, fine structure and balance. There is tangible freshness and vitality here with hints of dried apricot and marmalade adding another dimension on the finish. One sip and the glass will be empty! Tasted September 2015.
