The 2017 Clos de Tart Grand Cru Monopole is a Pinot Noir from the renowned Burgundy region in France, specifically from the Cote de Nuits sub-region within the Morey St Denis appellation. This wine is produced by Clos de Tart and is bottled with a cork closure. It has an alcohol content of 13.5%.

This vintage has received high praise from multiple esteemed wine reviewers. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded it a score of 95 points, noting that the wine is "a little shut down after its recent bottling" but "showing beautifully." The reviewer, William Kelley, highlighted its "aromas of sweet red berries, plums, wilted rose petals, peonies and dark chocolate," and remarked on its "full-bodied, supple and succulent" palate with "powdery tannins and succulent acids." Kelley concludes that the wine "will evidently reward bottle age."

Vinous also gave this wine an excellent score of 96 points. Neal Martin described it as having a nose "showing a bit of new oak" but harmonizing well with "pure red cherries, cranberry, and wild strawberry scents." The palate is "medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a silver bead of acidity," exuding "tension and surfeit with energy." Martin found "superb salinity on the finish," which he described as "sexy and quite sensual," though he advised that it needs time for the terroir to fully express itself.

Burghound provided a score of 93 points, emphasizing the wine's "floral-inflected nose" and "fresh and ripe" character with "a broader range of spice elements." The medium-bodied flavors are "caressing and wonderfully vibrant," leading to a "lingering, balanced and much more complex finale." The review commended the wine for delivering "power without weight" and suggested it could be approached after 7 to 8 years of aging.

Decanter, another respected publication, also rated the 2017 Clos de Tart Grand Cru with 96 points. The review pointed out that despite high yields in the Côte de Nuits in 2017, "Jacques de Vauges made less Clos de Tart than he did in 2016." The wine was picked earlier and is described as "fine, focussed, nuanced" with "deftly integrated 60% whole bunches and 80% new wood." It is "elegant, floral and precise with chalky freshness."

Collectively, these reviews underscore the 2017 Clos de Tart Grand Cru Monopole as a wine of elegance, complexity, and potential for aging, making it a notable choice for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
