Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux Premier Cru 2018

Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin Les Champeaux Premier Cru 2018 is a profound Pinot Noir with aromas of black cherry, cassis, wild strawberry, woodsmoke, rose petals, and spice. Concentrated yet elegant, it offers velvety tannins, vibrant acidity, and exceptional mineral precision with a remarkably long, age-worthy finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with roast duck, venison, beef Wellington, truffle dishes, wild mushrooms, or aged Comté and Gruyère cheeses.

96 Points - Decanter

'Caviar' is how Arnaud Mortet describes the grapes from this old-vine cuvée, sourced from four parcels close to Brochon on the northern side of Gevrey-Chambertin. Floral, elegant and very enticing, even at this very young stage, it has layer upon layer of spices and red berry fruit framed by 50% new wood. The finish shimmers on the palate, sustained by tangy acidity.

95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Mortet's 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Champeaux derives from a parcel planted more than 80 years ago, and as usual it's one of the more muscular, age-worthy wines in the range. Unfurling in the glass with notes of cherries, woodsmoke, cassis, candied citrus peel and incense, it's medium- to full-bodied, deep and complete, with velvety tannins, impressive concentration and succulent acids.
