The red wine that comes from the Grand Cru vineyard of Clos de Tart might not be at the top of every Burgundy-lover’s wish-list – that accolade probably belongs to the fabled Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. And if one had to conjure an image that defined the region, perhaps the Clos de Vougeot, with its 16thcentury château, well, that might be the one that ends up on the majority of wine geeks’ selfies.
Nevertheless, it is very much an iconic estate, sitting imperiously astride the village of Morey-Saint-Denis, with Gevrey-Chambertin to the north, and Chambolle-Musigny to the south. Indeed, the rows of Pinot Noir vines run in that direction, hugging the contours of the hill rather than lining up and down the slope (as is generally the norm), making it easy to spot from a distance.
