Domaine Denis Mortet
Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir
Very shy and tightly wound initially, then starting to reveal lovely floral quality. Perfectly ripe cherry, licorice, cured meat, mushroom, damp earth. Quite elegant and feminine for a Gevrey. This is the new “Arnaud Mortet” label, as the son has taken over since the death of Denis. Give this 2016 a lot of time to unwind, but it should be extremely rewarding.

Jun 30th, 2018Wow! An amazing Gevrey- young and fresh but approachable, lively, complex and structured. Pure fruits, balanced, gentle acid. Fantastic.

Aug 27th, 2016Oooooh boy. Rich spice (cloves) red fruit and cassis on the nose. Some earthy meatiness to it. Cherries and smoke. Definitely a good age.
