Stunning lavaux-st Jacques. Extremely precise, great salinity, red berries, mineral with great integrated oak, wild mushrooms and some pepper. Will be great for many years to come.

Lovely wine. Everything that Denis Mortet tried to accomplish, a fully extracted yet elegant Gevrey but never managed. His son gets it, very juicy tannins and delightful acidity. Medium body, peonies, black fruit and a bit smokeyness. Long finish. Powerful and elegant.

Intense, complex and in a beautiful place. Layered with boysenberry, blueberries, violets, hints of licorice, exotic spices and smoke. Finishes long, silky and with vibrant energy and tension. From the Stone Barns Cellar.

Prefect with lamb chops and smiling hard - merry Christmas to all and to all a good night - it was a baby but was still delicious

powerful and delicate at the same time. Typical Denis mortet wine. Wait for at least 5 years.

Plenty of red fruit, great salinity, long finish. On the light side.

Had in January 2009.
Fresh, fruity, minerally. Nice red citrus fruit (chinotto like), irony. Luscious and easy to drink. Not so unique if u am allowed, but very well made
