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.
