The 2023 Domaine Denis Mortet Marsannay Les Longeroies is a beautifully refined Pinot Noir from one of Marsannay’s most highly regarded climats. Sourced from the limestone-rich Les Longeroies vineyard, this wine showcases the precision and elegance that have made Domaine Denis Mortet one of Burgundy’s benchmark producers. Crafted with meticulous vineyard management and matured in French oak, it offers remarkable depth and finesse while expressing the freshness and mineral character of this outstanding site.
The nose reveals aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry and raspberry layered with rose petals, crushed violets, orange zest and subtle baking spice. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully structured, with vibrant red berry fruit supported by silky, fine-grained tannins and bright natural acidity. Delicate notes of forest floor, crushed stone and gentle oak spice unfold through a long, graceful finish with impressive purity, freshness and mineral precision.
Ben’s Recommendation:
An exceptional Marsannay that beautifully bridges the gap between village Burgundy and Premier Cru quality. Its vibrant fruit and elegant structure make it a superb match for roast chicken, duck, grilled quail, mushroom dishes and soft-rind cheeses. Enjoy now with a light decant, or cellar confidently through 2038 as it develops greater savoury complexity, texture and classic Burgundian nuance.
