Score 86-88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Medium ruby-red color. Aromatic nose of black cherry, gunflint and leather. A distinct step up in flavor intensity over the basic Gevrey villages, which lacked middle-palate texture and seemed a bit pinched. This has a rather supple, harmonious texture and enough finishing flavor to support the oak. Late note of bitter chocolate.

About the producer
Domaine Denis Mortet
This estate, today with Arnaud Mortet at the helm, makes some of Gevrey-Chambertin’s finest wines. Working with 16 hectares, as well as a few négociant parcels, this property makes perfumed and chiselled Pinot Noir.
