The 2017 Clos de Tart Grand Cru was matured in around 80% new oak, the barrels toasted chauff blonde. Jacques Desvauges mentioned that the wine needed oxygen ingress during maturation that only new oak can give. I tasted the component parts (as usual) as well as the blend. This has a very detailed, delineated bouquet offering mainly black fruit mixed with sous-bois, tobacco, clove and bay leaf, the typicité of the appellation showing through nicely. It feels very succinct and yet so fresh. The palate is beautifully balanced on the entry with a killer line of acidity. Pure black cherry fruit is joined by bilberry, hints of black olive and a marine/oyster shell tincture that comes through quite strongly toward the persistent, saline finish, which fans out with confidence. This is a brilliant follow-up to the benchmark 2016 by Jacques Desvauges and his team.Inc. GSTSG$4,434.62 -

La Forge de Tart is made from the younger vines of the Clos de Tart, planted in 1999, 2005 and 2011 across the three levels of the Grand Cru.

Based on 70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon, the flagship 2017 Clos Des Lunes Lune D'Or Blanc is a tiny production cuvee from more clay and limestone soils, from tiny yields, that spent 18 months in 25% new French oak. It’s brilliant stuff, which should surprise no one who’s tasted the whites from Olivier Bernard’s Domaine de Chevalier. Awesome notes of caramelized citrus, white flowers, pineapple, chocolate, and crushed rocks all emerge from this medium to full-bodied, concentrated, straight-up classy white that does everything right. Give bottles another year or two and enjoy over the following decade.Inc. GSTSG$219.85 -

The 2022 Clos des Jacobins is a wine of imposing depth yet also fine balance. Black cherry, plum, espresso, new leather, lavender and spice are all finely cut in a Saint-Émilion that offers an intriguing mix of body and energy. I would give this a few years in bottle, as the tannins are a bit imposing today. There's room to grow here. This is very nicely done.In BondSG$245.00 -

I love the whites from this vintage and the 2015 Clos des Lunes Blanc is well worth seeking out. Brought up all in barrel and a blend of mostly Sémillon, it’s a vibrant, intense white offering lots of caramelized lime, mint, honeysuckle, and a hint of minerality, full-bodied richness, impressive concentration, and great acidity. It can be drunk over the coming 4-5 years or cellared for even longer.In BondSG$221.00 -

Based on 70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon, the flagship 2017 Clos Des Lunes Lune D'Or Blanc is a tiny production cuvee from more clay and limestone soils, from tiny yields, that spent 18 months in 25% new French oak. It’s brilliant stuff, which should surprise no one who’s tasted the whites from Olivier Bernard’s Domaine de Chevalier. Awesome notes of caramelized citrus, white flowers, pineapple, chocolate, and crushed rocks all emerge from this medium to full-bodied, concentrated, straight-up classy white that does everything right. Give bottles another year or two and enjoy over the following decade.In BondSG$172.00 -
