Red Wine: 1991 | Domaine Denis Mortet | Gevrey-Chambertin (Magnum)

This is so seductively lush, ripe, with concentration, glycerin in the texture. It is drinking very well. Not the longest finish of the tasting, but such a seductive Chambertin.

Producer Information

Domaine Denis Mortet is a producer from the village of Gevrey-Chambertin in the Cte de Nuits of northern Burgundy. It is known for its high-quality wines made from Pinot Noir. The wine portfolio of Pinot Noir is produced in modern style with finesse and delicacy, a side step away from traditional Burgundian Pinot Noir. The cuve collection includes multiple grand crus from Bonne-Mares, Mazis-Chambertin, chzeaux and Clo-de-Voudeot. At the founding of the domaine, Mortet had 11 acres (4.5 ha) of vineyards but quickly began to expand. Parcels were acquired in the Premier Cru vineyard Lavaux Saint-Jacques in Gevrey-Chambertin as wells as in Motrot, Vell, Champs and La Cte des Longeroies in Marsannay. The estate continued to expand to its current standing at 27 acres (11.2ha), culminating in the purchase of a portion of the grand cru vineyard Le Chambertin. Denis Mortet eliminated chemical fertilizers and weed killers in 1996 and today, all of the fruit is hand-harvested. In the winery, grape berries are sorted twice to ensure optimal quality. The domaine began in 1956 when Charles Mortet bought a single hectare of vines and began selling fruit to merchant houses. Mortet’s son Denis, and his wife Laurence, began working on the estate in 1978 and in the early 1990s, took over and established Domaine Denis Mortet.
