The 2023 Arnaud Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin Ma Cuvée is a beautifully refined and classically structured village Burgundy from one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most exciting modern domaines. Produced from a mosaic of old-vine parcels spread across the appellation — including sites below the grands crus and on limestone-rich soils — the wine reflects Arnaud Mortet’s evolution toward greater precision, finesse and terroir transparency following the powerful style established by his father, Denis Mortet. Fermented with partial whole clusters and aged in mostly older French oak, the 2023 vintage combines the generosity of the warm growing season with remarkable freshness and aromatic lift.
The nose reveals black cherry, wild strawberry and cassis layered alongside rose petal, violet, graphite and subtle cocoa spice, giving the wine impressive aromatic depth and elegance. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a finely etched mineral core. Layers of red and dark berry fruit unfold with savoury earthiness, delicate oak spice and saline freshness, finishing long, poised and beautifully persistent with excellent ageing potential. Critics have praised the wine’s purity, finesse and persistence, noting its old-vine concentration and refined structure beneath the wine’s approachable surface.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Arnaud Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin Ma Cuvée is a superb modern Gevrey — elegant, mineral and beautifully balanced with outstanding finesse and old-vine depth.
