The walled vineyard of Clos de Tart is situated at the very heart of Morey-Saint-Denis, one of four grands crus within the village and a monopole under sole ownership. Its sloping 7.53 hectares overlook the village. Created in 1141, Clos de Tart was owned by the Bernardines de Tart (an order of Cistercian nuns), the Marey-Monge family (post-French Revolution) and then the Mommessin family from 1932.
At the end of 2017, the Clos was sold to François Pinault. His company, Artemis, also owns Vosne-Romanée’s Domaine Eugénie, Château Latour in Bordeaux, Château Grillet in the Rhône and Eisele Vineyard in Napa. Clos de Tart is one of only seven grands crus monopoles in France, five of which are in Burgundy (the other Burgundian vineyards being Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, La Romanée and La Grande Rue).

The wines of Clos de Tart will be released once bottled, meaning the 2021 vintage will be released in spring 2024.
