Producer Information

Clos de Tart is a highly esteemed domaine based on a single grand cru monopole vineyard in the commune of Morey-Saint-Denis, in the Cte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy’s Cte d’Or. The estate produces two wines, both from Pinot Noir. Clos de Tart’s history dates back to a 12th Century abbey constructed by Cistercian nuns of the Notre Dame de Tart order. The vineyard has remained a monopole ever since. In 2017 the domaine was bought by French billionaire Franois Pinault for a figure thought to be in excess of 225 million ($260 million). Pinault’s investment group, Artemis, owns a host of high-profile domaines across France, including Chteau Grillet in Chteau Grillet (Condrieu) and Chteau Latour in Pauillac, Bordeaux, as well as Araujo Estate in California’s Napa Valley. The property was previously owned by the Mommessin family, who purchased the estate in 1932. The family sold its ngociant business (and name) to Jean-Claude Boisset, of the major Burgundy wine family, although the Mommessin family retained Clos de Tart until its sale to Pinault.
