Domaine Denis Mortet Les Champeaux – Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru – Red – 2021:

 

Domaine Denis Mortet: Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Champeaux

From the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the Domaine Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Les Champeaux’ is a magnificent Premier Cru. The Mortet domaine, now under the expert guidance of Arnaud Mortet, is celebrated for producing wines of immense power, elegance, and purity. This specific cuvée benefits from exceptional terroir and dedicated viticulture, including traditional horse-drawn ploughing, resulting in a wine with remarkable depth and ageing potential.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Intense, deep black-ruby.
• Nose: Powerful and complex, offering a core of rich black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant) complemented by floral nuances of peony and violet, leading to classic earthy, truffle, and tobacco notes with bottle age.
• Palate: Full-bodied and concentrated. Silky tannins elegantly coat the palate, providing a structure that is both robust and refined. The wine is long and complete, with a lingering finish of fresh, vibrant berries. A true investment for the cellar.

Food Pairings & Service

Best served at 16°C (60°F) following an hour’s decanting. This wine is perfect for a special occasion or a traditional Sunday roast upgrade.

• Pairing: Traditional Roast Lamb with Rosemary and Garlic, Beef Wellington, Venison or Game Pie, Hard British Cheeses (e.g., Mature Cheddar).
