La Forge de Tart Morey-St.-Denis Premier Cru

La Forge de Tart is the second label of the legendary Clos de Tart – one of the few monopoles in Burgundy, which has belonged to the Pinault family (Artémis Domaines) since 2018. The grapes come from Morey-Saint-Denis, one of the quiet stars of the Côte de Nuits, nestled between Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny.

In the glass, a clear ruby ​​red with violet reflections. The nose reveals sour cherry, blackberry, and fresh raspberry, underpinned by violets and a hint of cedar. On the palate, medium-bodied, with silky tannins and lively acidity – typical of Morey-Saint-Denis, which combines the power of Gevrey with the finesse of Chambolle. The finish is long, slightly spicy, with a mineral note reminiscent of the chalky subsoil.
