In contrast to the Denis Mortet Gevrey, the vineyards for this cuvée are all planted on fine, stony soils towards the south of the appellation, giving a wine of finesse and elegance, rather than structure and concentration. The vines here are mostly around 50 to 60 years old, with some younger massal selections of very fine Pinot. The result is a very charming, juicy wine with fine, powdery tannins and an energetic finish.
"The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Village comes from four hectares of old vines worked by Arnaud Mortet himself. It has a crisp, focused bouquet, quite mineral-driven, with so much freshness. The very well-defined palate features pure red and black fruit tinged with brown spice. Silky-smooth on the finish, this feels very complete and harmonious. Superb."
