Denis Mortet established his eponymous domaine in Gevrey-Chambertin in the 1990s. Until his premature death in 2006, he was a hugely respected winemaker in Burgundy, renowned for his meticulous attention to detail. Today, the estate is run by his son Arnaud, who made some changes in the style of the wines, which are now less concentrated and more elegant. This cuvée is made from a blend of vineyards in Brochon, to the north of the appellation. The vineyards’ rocky soil gives a firm backbone and mineral freshness to the wine, which complement the rich and seductive red fruit.

Mortet’s 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin Mes Cinq Terroirs, which was vinified by Arnaud Mortet alongside his father before his untimely passing, might well be the over-performer of the lunch. Dark berry fruit, hints of Seville orange marmalade and black tea on the nose, this is beautifully defined and gains vigour in the glass. Quite powerful on the palate, in keeping with Denis Mortet’s and the vintage’s style, it has structure and grip, yet comes armed with unerring purity and succulence on the finish. It’s drinking beautifully now, but do give it an hour’s decant. A testament to a much-missed vigneron. Neal Martin30th September 2022
