Wine Domaine Denis Mortet - Created by Denis Mortet, a leading figure in Gevrey-Chambertin, and now run by Arnaud Mortet, the estate continues to uphold a philosophy of absolute excellence: purity of fruit, respect for the terroir and meticulous precision. Nestled in the heart of Gevrey's most iconic hillside, Lavaux-Saint-Jacques is a terroir of stone and light. Tucked away at the entrance to the valley, it produces wines where the freshness of limestone meets the richness of Pinot Noir. In the 2023 vintage, Domaine Denis Mortet delivers a wine of fascinating intensity, at once energetic, silky and sculpturally deep. The dense, brilliant colour heralds a noble nose combining bright black fruits, violet, graphite and incense. On the palate, the substance imposes itself without brutality: full-bodied, concentrated, with a velvety texture, supported by a precise mineral structure. The natural power of Lavaux-Saint-Jacques blends here with a vibrant, almost saline tension that stretches the wine towards a long and racy finish. The estate's masterful work can be seen in the control of the ageing process ? finely balanced, perfectly integrated wood ? and in the pure, unadulterated aroma of the fruit. This wine is a lesson in balance, where intensity and grace interact naturally. This 2023 already offers immediate pleasure after a short decanting, but it will reach its peak after 8 to 15 years of ageing. It is ideal with pink pigeon, game birds, beef fillet or truffled poultry.
