Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jan 2018
(the crop was down 40% due to the frost; 25% new oak): Healthy dark red. Very ripe black raspberry dominates the nose. Plump, rich and sweet but with surprising acidity to frame the slightly medicinal flavors of dark cherry, blueberry, licorice and herbs. This chewy, concentrated wine's combination of almost liqueur-like ripeness and herbal accents suggests that the fruit ripened quickly at the end.

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.
