Tasting Notes

Neal Martin, December 2016,
Score: 93-95...

Burghound, January 2017,
Score: 92-95As it usually is, this is ripe, serious and wonderfully complex with black cherry fruit and warm earth undertones leading to rich, full and powerful broad-shouldered flavors that also possess outstanding concentration that completely saturates the palate on the long and dusty finish. This is really quite refined as once again the relatively fine-grained tannins contribute significantly toward the sleek mouth feel. While in 2015 I marginally prefer the Grands Ech, this too is really quite impressive. Drink 2030+

Producer
Domaine Denis Mortet

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.
