Clos de Tart

This year I tasted with assistant winemaker Jean-Louis Charbonnier, who told me that the potential alcohol of 13% in 2001 was the domain's lowest since 1996 (the 2000, in comparison, is 14.2% alcohol in bottle, with no chaptalization). Charbonnier noted that the estate-wide yield here was a bit higher in 2001 than in the previous year: 33 hectoliters per hectare vs. 30. (My spies in Burgundy consistently name Clos de Tart as one of the most serious estates in the region for labor-intensive work in the vineyards and low yields.) As always, I tasted separate cuvees from the bottom, middle and top of this grand cru. Interestingly, the juice from the bottom was unexceptional on its own, yet seemed to disappear into the blend, fleshing out its middle-palate texture without compromising the wine in any obvious way.
