The 2023 Domaine Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin "Mes Cinq Terroirs" is the estate’s flagship village wine, blending fruit from five exceptional vineyard sites across Gevrey-Chambertin, including En Champs, Combe du Dessus, Au Vellé, Les Crais and Les Seuvrées. Crafted by one of Burgundy’s most revered domaines, the wine reflects Denis Mortet’s meticulous vineyard work and thoughtful élevage in French oak, producing a village-level Pinot Noir of remarkable depth, precision and ageing potential. The outstanding 2023 vintage delivers exceptional purity, concentration and elegance.
The nose reveals aromas of wild cherry, black raspberry and red currant layered with rose petals, violets, orange zest and delicate baking spice. The palate is beautifully textured, with vibrant red and dark berry fruit supported by silky, fine-grained tannins and lively natural acidity. Notes of crushed stone, forest floor and subtle spice unfold through a long, refined finish with impressive mineral precision, freshness and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A benchmark village Gevrey-Chambertin that drinks well above its classification. Its purity, structure and layered complexity make it an outstanding match for roast duck, quail, veal, mushroom dishes and classic French cuisine. While approachable with careful decanting, it will reward cellaring through 2040+ as it develops remarkable savoury complexity and classic Burgundian elegance.
