  • Goedhuis, January 2014

    A deep darkly intense opaque colour. This is a richly spiced wine full of dark berry fruits and subtle liquorice flavours. Very appealing and sensual in style with a lovely velvety texture and a long concentrated finish.

  • Neal Martin, December 2013, Score: 92-94

    From 65 to 70-year old vines towards Brochon and aged in 30% new oak, the 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes has a very perfumed, floral bouquet with hints of wilted violet petals and dried quince infusing the red fruit profile. The palate is medium-bodied with a candied, very pure opening. This is very expressive and beautifully balanced with real mineralité coming towards the long finish. Feminine and endearing, this is a lovely Gevrey-Chambertin.


  • Burghound, January 2015, Score: 90

    (from vines over 50 years of age). The expressive nose is compositionally similar to the straight Gevrey villages cuvée though here the aromas are slightly more complex. The medium weight flavors are also gorgeously long finish. This is a very fine Gevrey villages and absolutely worth your attention. Drink 2020+


  • Burghound, January 2014, Score: 89-91

    Reduction flattens the nose. The medium weight flavors are denser and more powerful than those of the straight Gevrey cuvée but not necessarily any finer or longer though the finish is a bit more structured. In sum, this is certainly bigger but not necessarily more interesting. Drink 2019+


  • Jancis Robinson, January 2014, Score: 17

    Deep cherry red. Very dark fruited, oak spice, and a slight smoky reductive note. Rich and sweetly oaky on the palate. Rounded and velvety texture. Finesse and length. Drink 2017-2022

For many years, Dénis Mortet worked passionately to create one of the most sought after domaines in Burgundy. He learned about winemaking while working with his father Charles, a cousin of Charles Rousseau. From the early 1990s he built his vineyard area to almost 10 hectares dispersed throughout Gevrey Chambertin, Chambolle Musigny, Vougeot, Fixin and Marsannay. His exceptional determination and self-criticism drove him in pursuit of the holy grail of Gevrey Chambertin. Year-in and year-out, he aimed for higher and higher ideals believing that there was always better, always purer. Sadly, he has not lived to see his results. After his tragic death in 2006 at the age of just 51, his son, Arnaud, took over vineyard management and winemaking. Since then, this domaine has been soaring to ever-greater heights. In Dénis’s era the wines had been admired for their opulence, but in the past decade Arnaud has redefined the Mortet style as one that ascends towards a pinnacle of finesse and elegance. The dextrous handling of each parcel means the Fixin and Marsannay are as interesting talking points as the Lavaux St Jacques and Clos de Vougeot. The domaine has forged a reputation for organic viticulture par excellence, and the dedicated work in the vineyards is abundantly clear in the cellar. Arnaud has an astonishing gift for managing whole bunch fruit and matching new oak to his pure, crystalline wines.Read less

Region

Gevrey Chambertin

The greatest village in terms of notable grand cru vineyards, Gevrey Chambertin has no less than 9 of them including its most famous Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze, and includes a premier cru vineyard that many people deem grand cru in quality - Clos St. Jacques. It encompasses approximately 400 hectares under vine also making it the largest top quality vineyard area in the Côte de Nuits. Gevrey-Chambertin has many followers who seek out its deeply coloured, robust and textured wines. They are often firmer than the neighbouring appellations of Chambolle Musigny and Vosne Romanée and can take several years to soften once released. Due to its size and reputation, the list of excellent producers is noteworthy and many are worth seeking out.
