1996 Clos de Tart

Burgundy / France

Red

This medium-to-dark ruby-colored wine has rich aromas of deeply ripe dark fruits that give way to a broad, full-bodied, silky-textured, and concentrated wine. It is richer and more intense than any wine I have tasted from this estate, and reveals earthy, stone-laced, black cherry, and blackberry flavors. This wine is harmonious, seductive (yet structured), focused, and well-balanced. Its extremely long and soft finish is replete with magnificently soft tannins. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2009.

The Annual Clos Vougeot Tasting : Presenting 2009

On Thursday 27th October wine journalists and the FINE+RARE team gathered for a very special event: 57 domains, one vineyard, one vintage, tasted blind.

Chateau Clos de Sarpe: Tasting through the Ages

Clos de Sarpe is a rather unassuming place to visit, nestled in a little enclave north east of the village of Saint Emilion. It is in fact a tiny property in Bordeaux terms, made up of just 3.7 hectares and producing a maximum of 14,000 bottles a year, but more often than not, closer to just 10,000. In 2018 they ...
