Vintage Character Domaine Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin “Mes Cinq Terroirs” 2023 is a refined village Burgundy crafted from five carefully selected lieux-dits that together capture a complete picture of Gevrey’s character. The 2023 growing season in the Côte de Nuits was generally warm and sunny with episodes of rain that helped avoid excessive stress, leading to a solid, good-value vintage that produced ripe yet vibrant Pinot Noirs with supple tannins and fresh acidity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, it offers lifted aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, violets, crushed rose and a touch of cranberry, layered with subtle oak notes of clove, vanilla, cocoa powder and light toast. The palate is medium-bodied yet vivid, with high, mouth-watering acidity, fine-grained tannins and a precise core of red fruit, finishing long with hints of smoked tea, earth, dried flowers and savory herbs that promise further nuance with cellaring. It is an elegant partner for roast duck breast, herb-crusted lamb, mushroom risotto or a simple roast chicken with thyme, showcasing a bone-dry, red-fruited, terroir-driven style that is both approachable and capable of graceful development.
Winery Background Founded by the late Denis Mortet in Gevrey-Chambertin in the early 1990s, this family domaine quickly earned a reputation for meticulous viticulture, low yields and intensely pure expressions of Pinot Noir. Today his son, winemaker Arnaud Mortet, guides the estate, building on this legacy while refining the style toward even greater finesse through careful parcel selection, attentive work in old-vine plots and a sensitive approach to oak and extraction. The cuvée name “Mes Cinq Terroirs” refers to Arnaud’s personal blend of fruit from five distinct Gevrey vineyards, often including sites such as En Motrot, Au Vellé, En Champs, En Derée and Combe du Dessus, each contributing its own dimension of structure, fruit and spice. Together they form a benchmark village-level Gevrey-Chambertin that reflects both the diversity of the appellation’s terroirs and the precision, craftsmanship and understated power that have made Domaine Denis Mortet one of the most sought-after addresses in the village.
