🏰 The 2019 La Forge de Tart from Domaine du Clos de Tart, the second wine of this historic Morey-Saint-Denis Grand Cru Monopole, is a classic red Burgundy in top form. The vintage itself saw drought conditions in May and June, intensifying into July, but harvest began in excellent weather on September 13th, with perfectly healthy grapes requiring little sorting. This purple-hued wine unveils lovely fresh red fruits like wild strawberry and loganberry, alongside darker fruit flavors of blackcurrant and plum, with spicy and floral notes, and a delicate perfume. On the palate, it offers a delicious mouthfeel with depth of flavor, great balance, soft tannins, fine acidity, and a long, precise finish. Critics have praised its harmony, with Decanter awarding 93 points and Robert Parker 91 points. It's described as velvety and luxurious, with a seamless and harmonious character. 【Second wine of a legendary Grand Cru Monopole】. 🍴 This elegant Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roasted duck, goose, glazed poultry, rib steak, and braised lamb. It also complements cheeses with strong flavors and soft centers, such as Comté and Époisses. 🥂 This wine is perfect for a sophisticated dinner party or a special celebration, showcasing the elegance of Burgundy. While enjoyable now, it will reward patience over the next decade or more.
