Based in Gevrey-Chambertin, Denis Mortet is a family-owned estate run by Laurence and her two children, Clémence and Arnaud. The Domaine was originally founded in 1956 by Charles Mortet with just a single hectare of vines to his name. This release is from Aux Beaux-Bruns, a Premier Cru site of the Chambolle-Musigny appellation. The wine has a delicate nose, with aromas of bright red cherry and spices. The palate is generous and juicy, leading to a long finish.

Vinous
Good full red. Musky nose dominated by mocha; less pure and primary than Mortet's better Gevreys. Supple and creamy, with a slightly medicinal menthol element. This has lift in the mouth but I was troubled by a dry spot in the middle and on the finish. Can't match the Gevreys for fruit or cut. Mortet admitted that this vineyard was the most affected by hail of his holdings. By knocking off a lot of leaves, the hail storm affected the ripening process, he explained.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2008
