2010 Mommessin, Clos de Tart Grand Cru, Case of 6 btls

RP98+ "Tasted at the pre-dinner vertical to mark Sylvain Pitiot's retirement from the domaine, the 2010 Clos de Tart Grand Cru would have been made by angels if not Sylvain Pitiot (angels that had graduated from University of Dijon with a degree in oenology). The nose is so ineffably pure that it is guaranteed to bring a tear to the eye. In a strange way it reminds me of a top Armand Rousseau with its awe-inspiring transparency. The palate is ethereal - divine balance, a gentle grip, a saline edge and poise on the finish that takes your breath away. Iron fist in a velvet glove, etc. This is surely legend in the making."

Monopole vineyard owned by Francois Pinault's Artemis Group (owner of Chateau Latour and Domaine d'Eugenie), who purchased it from the Mommessin family in October 2017.
