Tim ATKIN, 2016 Vintage

CLOS DE TART GRAND CRU MONOPOLE
96

The future stylistic direction of this monopoly Grand Cru is uncertain since its recent purchase by the Artemis Group, but I hope that they stick with the current regime, as Jacques Devauges is doing brilliant things. This is a blend of eight different parcels and vinifications, with 60% whole bunches and 80% new oak. It’s a fresh, refine, polished Clos de Tart with precision and elegance, marking a welcome break with the past. 2026-40
